I'd never heard of the tiny Goulburn Valley township of Yarck until the other day when we stopped there on the way back from Euroa. But I'll definitely be going back because among its few facilities is a gorgeous bookshop.
Books at Yarck has a great collection of books, from cookery and gardening books near the front of the shop to crime fiction and sports titles in the smaller room at the back. The sports section was well stocked with Olympic histories (something I also noticed at the bookshop in Euroa), so if you want to mug up on previous Olympic Games in the run-up to Tokyo, you'll find some great books here.
A sofa near the children's section allows you to peruse the books in comfort and there's a fire for cold winter's days.
Books are reasonably priced and there are some great bargains to be found in the trolleys outside the shop.
There's a bakery just down the road from the bookshop, but there's not much to do in Yarck. However, book lovers won't need anything else when they visit - searching this gem of a bookshop for treasures will be more than enough.
