Yass is found in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, 279 kilometres south-west of Sydney. With the picturesque Yass River running through town, and the rolling hills of the Yass Valley, visitors will be taken in by the charm and beauty of this historic country town.
Joe O’Connor Park is situated along the river on Laidlaw Street, where self-contained RVs are welcome to park for up to 48 hours at no cost. There are no facilities in the park, however a dump point and potable water are accessible nearby at 1428 Yass Valley Way.
The colonial history of Yass can be explored on the ‘Yass Historic Walk and Drive’, which includes the well-preserved main street with buildings dating from the 1840s, along with beautifully restored Victorian buildings, churches, the courthouse and railway station museum. Yass made its beginnings as a town servicing the surrounding farmlands, and while agriculture still remains an important part of its economy, tourism is fast becoming a major focus as the region builds a reputation for fine food and quality cool-climate wines.
