Yass

Bursting with wonderful experiences, Yass boasts a fabulous sense of community, spectacular natural scenery, and a laid-back country lifestyle.

In 1821, Hamilton Hume was the first non-indigenous person to see the Yass Plains. Today, Hume’s name is synonymous throughout Australia as one of our country’s most well-known colonial explorers. Yass Valley’s highlights include food and wine experiences, exploring the rugged yet stunning outdoors and enchanting shops and boutiques. Yass town centre is conveniently located just 50 minutes from Canberra, making it a quick and easy commute, daytrip or short break destination.

Situated just off the Hume Highway and only three hours from Sydney, Yass Valley is a popular stopover and meeting place for travellers. With medium rental prices of $340 a week, three medical centres (My Medical, Old Linton Medical Centre, Atherfield Medical Service) and a range of educational options to choose from, Yass is an ideal place to live. Childcare options include Goodstart Early Learning Child Care, Yass Little Learners, Yass Early Childhood Centre Association, and Yass Montessori Preschool, while Yass-Berindaba Public School, Mt Carmel School, Yass Public School and Yass High cater for older children. For those interested in pursuing tertiary education, Yass TAFE (Illawarra Tafe) is also available.
