A Day Out in Yass

About
Would you like to visit some of the historic homes around Yass? Our first stop will be at Cooma Cottage. This was the home of Australian-born explorer, Hamilton Hume and, as you probably know, it is a National Trust (NSW) property. It will be very interesting to see the restoration work completed last year. Guided tours and morning tea there.The coach will take us into Yass for a short drive around some heritage sites and then stop for a delicious light lunch, provided by Clementine Bakery, Yass, at The Rose Inn. Convict built, it is the oldest home in Yass, built around 1837 and is part of the Yass historic precinct.
After lunch we head to Highclere Farm – the impressive 1895 homestead, formerly known as Blackburn and featured recently in Restoration Australia.
Please note that entry to Cooma Cottage is free for National Trust members (bring your membership card) and $12 for others (NOT include in tour cost so please come prepared if you don't have a Trust membership card)
