Yea, Victoria 3717, Australia

Yea is a town in Victoria, Australia 100 kilometres north-east of Melbourne at the junction of the Goulburn Valley Highway and the Melba Highway, in the Shire of Murrindindi local government area. In an area originally inhabited by the Taungurong people, it was first visited by Europeans of the Hume and Hovell expedition in 1824, and within 15 years most of the land in the area had been taken up by graziers. Surveyed in 1855, the township grew as a service centre for grazing, gold-mining and timber-getting in the area. The town has had a fairly stable population since 1900, though it now has a relatively old population. The town economy is based around servicing the farming sector, and tourism, with good road links but little public transport. The town has education supplied by three schools . It has three churches, and active sporting clubs. Heritage sites around the town include the railway station buildings, Purcell's General Store , and the nearby Yea Flora Fossil Site, where the most ancient leafy foliage so far found on earth was discovered.
