Embark on a self-drive guided tour to two fossil beds on private property just 10km from Yass. These extraordinary sites, part of the Silurian period, date back 443–419 million years and were first recorded by explorer-geologist Paul Edmund de Strzelecki.
Tours will meet at Coronation Park, behind the Yass Valley Information Centre at 1.30pm. Please park on Browne Street.
For safety purposes, note that this activity takes place on a working cattle farm with uneven, grassy, and rocky terrain. Sturdy footwear, sun protection, water and a moderate level of fitness are required. Sorry, no dogs permitted on this tour.
Children (5yr+) must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.
There is a toilet available at Coronation Park, but no facilities at the fossil sites.
