The Yass and District Historical Society is pleased to be part of the Regional Heritage Festival which runs from 1 April to 31 May 2022.
The popular Fossick for Fossil event will again run this year as part of the Heritage Festival on Saturdays, 16th April and 30th April. The tours take you on a self-drive guided tour on private property, approximately 10kms from Yass to explore the fossil beds made famous by Alfred Shearsby.
Tours will meet at Coronation Park, behind the Yass Valley Visitors Information Centre at 1.30pm with an expected finish time of 4.30pm. Sturdy footwear and a moderate level of fitness are required.
Bookings are essential by message or email. Each tour has a limit of twenty-five participants so book early to avoid missing out.
The cost is $10 per person or $20 per family including up to two adults and children under 15 years. Tour bookings include free entry between 10.00am and 1.00pm to the Yass Museum to see the new Movers and Shakers exhibition and to see more about Alfred Shearsby who spent years exploring the fossil beds in the Yass Valley.
The Museum will open every Sunday and public holiday during the Festival from 10.00am to 4.00pm.
