We’ve reached peak autumn in Yackandandah.
Park the car, grab a coffee, walk the length of High Street and browse a few shops you won’t find in a shopping centre.
Linger over a long lunch, then wander down by the creek while the leaves do their thing.
If you’ve been meaning to get here, the time is now.

If you haven’t visited Yackandandah in autumn, now’s the moment.
The leaves are beginning to turn, and over the coming weeks the town will be coloured with rich reds and golden yellows.
Make a day of it. Start with coffee and cake at Two Sisters on High then wander across the road to @featheranddrumhatco for a beautifully handmade hat (consider it a well-earned souvenir - you deserve it). Take a gentle stroll along the Yack Creek Trail, before exploring the independent boutiques and galleries that line the main street.
As the day winds down, settle in for dinner and drinks at the @yackhotel and soak up the relaxed country atmosphere.
