JAM SHACK
YELLINGBO, VICTORIA,
IMAGE NUMBER 1205
Yellingbo is a small village in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria. The town formed around a store opened by James Claxton in 1883 next to Woori Yallock Creek, and was initially known as "Claxton". In August 1946 the village was renamed "Yellingbo" after the last Aboriginal resident, his name literally meaning "today" in the Woiwurrung language. The region mainly comprises small farms, particularly orchards. Some of them have produce stall. This stall was managed by a farmer’s daughter and her jam was marvellous.
