Overview

Young, nestled in a valley on the Olympic Highway, is the largest town in the Hilltops Region and sits about two hours’ drive from Canberra. Marketed as Australia’s Cherry Capital, it hosts the popular National Cherry Festival each year and enjoys hot, dry summers and cool, damp winters that suit outdoor activities. The town is well‑served by rail – the historic Young railway station on the Blayney‑Harden line – and benefits from a long‑standing rural school‑bus network, while six primary and secondary schools provide local education options.

With a 2021 population of 10,610, Young offers a diverse housing mix that includes separate houses, semi‑detached townhouses and apartments. Heritage‑listed sites, the Lambing Flat Chinese Tribute Gardens and a lively sporting scene – from rugby league’s Young Cherrypickers to soccer and rugby union – contribute to a strong community feel, complemented by a range of churches, local media and nearby attractions such as the Hilltops wine region.
