With a population of 512, it offers an authentic escape into Victoria's bushland and farmland. The centerpiece is the Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve, a haven for the rare helmeted honeyeater and other native wildlife, crisscrossed by gentle walking trails along the Wandin Yallock Creek. The town itself is quiet, with a general store, a historic hall, and a peaceful community feel. Travelers come for birdwatching, cycling through rolling hills, and exploring the nearby Yarra Valley wineries. Don't miss the seasonal wildflowers in spring or the golden hues of autumn. The pace is slow, the air clean, and the stars bright at night. It's an ideal base for nature lovers seeking tranquility, or a quick day trip from Melbourne for a taste of the countryside.",[10,13,15],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","000",{"key":14,"value":12},"Ambulance",{"key":16,"value":12},"Fire",[18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45],{"key":19,"value":20},"How do I get to Yellingbo from Melbourne?","Drive via Maroondah Hwy (50 min) or take a train to Lilydale then taxi (15 min).",{"key":22,"value":23},"Is there accommodation in Yellingbo?","Limited; a few B&Bs and farm stays.
