[wiki=750aa360aa8f8dbf3d03f508b30129eb]Yass[/wiki] is a town in [wiki=51927f298859f68ad4b6dc0a99947f6c]New South Wales[/wiki], [wiki=4442e4af0916f53a07fb8ca9a49b98ed]Australia[/wiki]. The town lies at the heart of the Yass Valley, an area with many attractions for the visitor. Just a short drive off the Hume Highway and 45 minutes out of Canberra, Yass and the nearby village of Bowning offer visitors a chance to experience everything from world-class arts and award-winning cool climate wines to a night in a 1840s Georgian hotel, The Globe Inn. Once touted as a possible site for the nation’s capital and with a long history as the centre of fine wool production, there is plenty to discover in the Yass area.
