The Queer Eye stars have found their spiritual home - in a small Australian town called Yass in New South Wales.

The saying "yaass" is a favourite of the Fab Five, which is made up of Jonathan Van Ness, Antoni Porowski, Tan France, Karamo Brown and Bobby Berk.

The town's name is believed to be derived from the Aboriginal word "yharr" - meaning "running water", according to the town's website.

In the show, five gay men give a range of people a full makeover.

After a hugely successful first series, they've been in Australia promoting series two of the Netflix show.

And they found the perfect place to do it. Yass queen.

Karamo and friends spent the day making over a local farmer, George - who was scouted by producers and nominated by his son Levi, according to The Guardian.

"I hope they'll make him look a bit more suave, fix him up, make his tooth look better," Levi told the newspaper.

George, 54, reportedly got a spa treatment, grooming tips and a haircut from Jonathan - before Tan took him shopping to upgrade his look.

One local store owner in Yass, Nicole Godding, told ABC Local Radio she tried to get the men into her store.

"I had a few tactics," she said.

"I opened up the doors, had Kylie Minogue pumping really loud.

"I'm kinda dancing around my shop, thinking 'sure, they're gonna notice me'."
