Yack is a town that works for everyone in the family. The kids can explore the Yackandandah Creek trail, hunt for something fun in the indie shops along the main street, and grown ups get boutique shopping, a gin and whisky tasting and great coffee.
Plus, ABC Kids favourites and ARIA winners Teeny Tiny Stevies are coming to Yackandandah Public Hall on Saturday 18 April, 10:30am. Funny stuff for parents, heaps of engagement for kids, the old feel young, the young feel like grown-ups and everyone meets in the middle for a rocking good time.
