Website | EmailThe name of this town means "running water" and was used by the Ngunnawal Aboriginal people to describe its position on the Yass River. The area was settled by Europeans in the early 1820s and began its rich tradition of fine quality wool production. Today the town still retains much of its colonial flavour due in part to a face lift undertaken in the mid 1990s by the shire. The visitor can enjoy wrought iron verandahs, cottage gardens, quaint paving and an abundance of places to eat and stay.
