FURTHER AFIELD
YASS VALLEY
Yass lies along the Yass River, which is a tributary of the Murrumbidgee River. Yass Valley was literally born ‘off the sheep’s back; sharing a border with our Nation’s Capital.
The extremely diverse landscape ranges from the dramatic and beautiful hills, valleys and waterways of the Wee Jasper area to the mighty Murrumbidgee River, the huge expanse of Burrinjuck Dam, the rolling hills of Binalong and the vast plains of Yass and Murrumbateman.
