	Yarra Glen, Victoria
		Yarra Glen had a hotel, post office and primary school by 1870 and numerous surrounding holdings which ran stock or had vineyards for wine production (the Ryrie brothers had planted vines in 1838).
		Yarra Glen is situated a little north of a flood plain through which the Yarra River flows.
		However, when bridges over the Yarra River were built the route along Whitehorse Road to Lilydale was more convenient than the Yarra Track over Christmas Hills and through flood-prone Yarra Glen, and traffic tended to avoid the area.
