Think of Young and you think straight away of cherries. That’s natural enough for a town that is renown for this bright red little fruit. The cherry harvest starts approximately in the first week of November and continues through to the New Year, and brings hundreds of people to town to pick and to pack the fruit. Young is proud to be known as: ‘The Cherry Capital of Australia’.
