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.Tourist/Visitor Information Centre Yass Valley Information Centre259 Comur St, Yass 2582P: 02 6226 2557www.yassvalley.com.au Casual Parking          Lead St, YassShort Term Parking  Joe O’Connor Park, Laidlaw St, parking at rear, (48hrs), nil charge, pets on lead, mobile coverage, S/C vehicles onlyDump Point   1428 Yass Valley Way, YassPotable Water            1428 Yass Valley Way, YassHospital          Meehan St, Yass, ph 02 6220 2000Doctors Surgery       Atherfield Medical, Lead St Yass, ph 02 6226 1888; Burns Doctor Surgery, Comur St Yass, ph 02 6226 3697; My Medical Practice, Laidlaw St Yass, ph 02 6226 6262Dentist            Yass Valley Dental, 77 Lead St Yass, ph 02 6226 1015; Yass Gentle Dental Care, 78 Comur St Yass, ph 02 6226 1010Pharmacy       My Medical Practice, Laidlaw St Yass, ph 02 6226 6262; Millers Pharmacy, 114 Comur St Yass, ph 02 6226 1264; Soul Pattison, 104 Comur St Yass, ph 02 6226 1003Supermarket  IGA, 63 Laidlaw St Yass, ph 02 6226 3001; Woolworths, Cnr Comur & Polding Sts Yass, ph 02 6118 7000; ALDI, 193 Comur St Yass
