About Yielima
Yielima is a small rural locality in northern Victoria, situated within the Moira Shire approximately 15 kilometres north of Nathalia and near the New South Wales border. The locality covers 129 square kilometres of flat, low-lying pastoral and irrigation country typical of the Goulburn Valley. According to the 2021 Census, Yielima has a population of 93 residents across 30 dwellings, and the area's ATO-reported median income of around 8,300 reflects the modest incomes typical of small farming communities in regional Victoria.
The locality is set amid the agricultural heartland of the Moira Shire, where farming — including cropping and grazing — forms the backbone of the local economy. Residents rely on Nathalia to the south for everyday needs such as schools, shops, and medical services, while Shepparton, approximately 75 kilometres to the south, provides a much wider range of retail, healthcare, and employment options. There is no public transport serving Yielima directly and a private vehicle is essential for all daily travel. The surrounding landscape includes the Murray River floodplain country to the north, making it an area of natural significance as well as agricultural productivity.
Yielima falls under postcode 3638 and is governed by the Moira Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Nicholls, while state elections fall under the Shepparton (Northern Victoria) electorate.
