Yass is believed to have been named after an Aboriginal word for running water - that is Yarrh or Yharr.
We arrived in the cold after dark - so could have been anywhere - but checked into our gorgeous retro AirBnB and immediately felt at home and a world away.
But it was time to venture out and see what a Friday night in Yass had to offer....
And we were pleasantly surprised when we came upon the wonderful Yazzbar - warm, comfy, amazing food (haloumi sliders, haloumi pizza, all the haloumi!!!!), and great wine and cocktails....and all only a three block roll to our accommodation :)
Waking up the next morning we were able to explore where we were actually staying :p
And then it was off for a wander around town...
Through Banjo Patterson park...
Past some cute locals :)
To Ross's which shall henceforth be known as 'the tardis' - definitely bigger on the inside!
Past old inns and gorgeous houses...
Along old tramways...
And under bridges...
Past the regal old buildings...
Via local markets and a wonderful world of cheese :)
And up the oddly steep hill back home...
After a rest, it was off to Wee Jasper for the afternoon...
It was quite a drive (make sure you trust your driver!). But it was certainly worth it...
What a beautiful day! This view would be hard to beat.
But alas it was time for the return journey to Yass...
Past the baby sheeps :)
There was time for a final fancy dinner in Yass - which turned out to be a bit more fancy than good...so snuck back to Yazz bar for dessert! OMG best Tiramisu ever.
Thank you Yass for a lovely weekend :)
