Yass Who's Who
Public Profile
Coach Aza
For us, it begins with water, with a story, and with a slash (/).
The slash is more than just a symbol —
It’s a lifeline. A current.
A reminder that we are not separate, but with.
With the game. With the land. With each other.
With those who came before, and those who are yet to come.
This is the story of the WaterBros and SistaFlo/Ws.
We are not athletes. Not influencers.
We are witnesses.
Grassroots storytellers.
The ones who show up —
to carry water, to run lines, to capture moments in the dirt,
on the edge of the field, in the heat of the grind.
We are the unseen force that has always been there.
Every splash of hydration, every call from the boundary,
every pep talk at halftime, every parent on the fence.
We move with the game,
we carry the Flo/W.
Our symbol, the slash ( / ), is inspired by the tail of the stingray —
graceful and powerful, protective and precise.
It slashes through time, connecting the old with the new,
ceremony with sport, the sacred with the everyday.
It is the mark we wear, and the rhythm we follow.
And @ —
the spiral, the body, the wings, the eye, the echo of everything.
We don’t just tag it. We live it.
It captures presence. Attention. Connection.
Where we are @/
As a Culture.
As Individuals.
As Community.
Together, @/ become more than brand marks.
They are ceremonial signs.
Markings of a movement.
Signals of belonging.
This is not just a campaign.
It is a resurrection.
A global storytelling movement led by those who stand
in the shadows of the game, and shine light from the sidelines.

Distinguished and Famous people from Yass
🧭 Hamilton Hume
Explorer Hamilton Hume made Yass his home after years of overland journeys. In 1839 he bought Cooma Cottage and its surrounding hundred acres for £601, then spent roughly twenty years extending the house. His additions included Palladian-style wings and a Greek Revival portico: retirement clearly left room for a substantial building project. He lived there with his wife Elizabeth until his death in 1873. Hume had travelled through the Yass plains in 1821 and co-led the 1824 expedition to Port Phillip with William Hovell. He and Elizabeth are buried in Yass, completing a long association with the district.
🐑 Sir Walter Merriman
Sir Walter Merriman was born at Yass in 1882 and educated at Murrumbateman Public School. In 1903 he established the Merryville merino stud using sheep acquired from his father, helping build a fine-wool breeding enterprise. A ram’s wool won an open-class prize at the 1904 Yass Show and went on to collect eleven more firsts. Merriman’s interests were not confined to fleece: he enjoyed sport, roses and collecting early Holdens. His later family company held properties around Yass and Boorowa. He died at Yass in 1972 and was buried at Murrumbateman, remaining closely connected to the district throughout his life.
🤝 Aunty Violet Bulger
Aunty Violet Bulger lived at Oak Hill near Yass and later at Hollywood Reserve, raising her family while working in domestic service and helping women through childbirth. Forcibly removed from her family as a child, she later learned midwifery from her mother and used it to assist women who faced restricted access to maternity hospitals. After her husband died, authorities forced her from the Yass reserve as a single mother. She rebuilt family life at Oak Hill and went on to raise grandchildren as well as her own children. Her standing as an elder grew from sustained practical care through circumstances that repeatedly made that care more difficult.
