Fodor's Expert Review Yackandandah

Beechworth Town/Village

This cute small town, 23 km (14 miles) northeast of Beechworth, shot to fame after the release of the lighthearted comedy Strange Bedfellows, starring Paul Hogan. The town's pretty historic buildings (including the two pubs, the post office, and the bank) were used as settings, and many of the town's 700 residents were movie extras. The town (Yack, to its friends), isn't looking to the past: it aims to be a carbon-neutral town by 2022.
