Osbornes Flat is a rural locality and former mining area in north-east Victoria, is 22 km south of Wodonga and 6 km from Yackandandah.
Osbornes Flat, named after James Osborne, the first white settler in the area was established as a gold town in the 1850's and had five hotels, several stores, a school, several trades' people and a lodging house.
However, Yackandandah became the main focus and today there only remains a school and hall. Osbornes Flat Hall was opened on the 25th May 1921 with the original cost being around 700 pounds. In 2010 a Federal and State grant of $140,000 allowed the hall to be refurbished and restored to its former glory. The hall is now used as a meeting place for local groups, events and community functions.
