Welcome to Yackandandah! Yackandandah is a small tourist town in northeast Victoria, Australia. It is near the regional cities of Wodonga and Albury, and is close to the tourist town of Beechworth. At the 2021 census, Yackandandah had a population of 2,008. It's where the area was first opened to white settlement when James Osborne took up land at Osborne's Flat in 1844. On the discovery of gold deposits on its territory in 1852, it became a gold mining centre known for its alluvial wet mining techniques. Yackandandah Post Office opened on 13 June 1856. The indigenous people of the area prior to white colonization were the Dhudhuroa people, in whose language the toponym Yackandandah is said to have meant “one boulder on top of another at the junction of two creeks”, namely the Yackandandah and Commissioner creeks' intersection.
