The Yarra Valley
- you'll
never want to leave. As a radio station, we are concerned with audio,
especially music. However, we know that the Yarra Valley is one of the
most beautiful places you'll find anywhere. When you drive along our
country roads, there are scenic vistas everywhere, and Yarra Valley
towns have lovely and interesting buildings. Other sights involve the
things that make a community tick - shops, businesses, government
facilities and so on. You'll see all those things in our picture
gallery. And maybe you'll see the Yarra Valley differently as a result.
Of course, we hope you'll browse the galleries
while listening to Yarra Valley FM 99.1 as your musical accompaniment.
Experience the
Yarra Valley
What's on, where
to stay (if
you're a visitor) and lots more about the Yarra Valley. This website
has the blessing of the Shire of Yarra Ranges Council, the "You'll love
every piece of Victoria" campaign, and has a sister site covering the
Dandenong Ranges, much of which is also in our listening area.
A very dynamic website dedicated to news and information about Warburton,
a beautiful town located on the banks of the Yarra River. You'll be
amazed at all of the things you can visit, attend or do at
Warburton. http://www.warburtoninfo.com/
Other Community
Radio Stations in Victoria
We are one of
many community
radio stations, all operated by volunteers. As you travel around
Victoria, we recommend that you tune in, and see what they have to
offer. The Community Broadcasting website also has lists of stations in
other States, if you are planning far-flung travels. And why not?
Australia is a beautiful country. Of course, we think the Yarra Valley
is uniquely beautiful, and you should listen to Yarra Valley FM 99.1,
but then, we are biased!
Secomm have sponsored YVFM
for many years by providing us with our transmitter on Briarty's Hill
at far less than commercial rates. They are a company specialising in
security alarm systems, twenty four hour control room
monitoring, CCTV installation and service, access control
systems (for example swipe card entry systems), and two way radio
sales and service.
We thank Secomm Australia for their long-term support as proud sponsors of Yarra Valley FM 99.1
Rochford continue to support
us with fund-raising movie nights. They provide a congenial and
beautiful location which increases attendance for us. They have a
commitment to supporting and sponsoring the local community, and we are
one of many groups which benefit. Check out the Events/Twilight
Experience section of their website, and you'll see what we mean.
Rob has placed a
link to
Yarra Valley FM on their website, so it's only fair that we do the
same. We are mostly city slickers, and it was only after visiting their
website that we realised that "hay ain't hay, sonny" You have
to
grow it, then mow it, then stow it. And Rob Bennet does it all.
