Yass, New South Wales, Australia

This is the last of my architecture collages taken on our trip to Melbourne in March.

These four photos were taken in Yass. Yass is a town in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales. Yass is located about 280 km southwest of Sydney, on the Hume Highway.

The Yass area was first seen by Europeans in 1821, during an expedition led by explorer Hamilton Hume and by 1830 settlement had begun.

Yass is very often one of our stop over places when we travel between Melbourne and Port Stephens.

A very interesting set of images and buildings, and I like how you've provided more than one example of each in a collage. Good work.

@onewing you're supposed to be resting

[Chris K]

magnificent old buildings. Have stopped at Yass many times in our travels

[Rachel]

Arched windows were really 'in' back then. I didn't realise how much until I saw these all together.

[Jane Morley]

Super buildings. Are they all from the same time?

[Babs]

@cruiser It is usually one of our stop over places too, either Yass or Gundagai.

[Babs]

@888rachel You are right Rachel. I hadn't realized that either. Just looking again at this collage and the previous one,

[Babs]

@chimfa Thanks Jane. Yes they were all taken on the same day as we had a wander around the town.

[Babs]

@annied I am resting Annie, well sort of. I don't do resting too well. I have only had my gall bladder removed, not had my leg amputated, so don't need to rest too much and I can still get about. ha ha

[Annie D]

@onewing lol yeh if we stop that's when it all falls apart ha ha

[Jen Hudson]
