Yarrara is a rural locality in the state of Victoria, Australia. It is situated on the Redcliffs-Meringur Road and the former Morkalla railway line in the Sunraysia region, approximately 535 km northwest of Melbourne. Yarrara lies about 10 kilometres east of Meringur and 6 kilometres west of Bambill. It falls within the Rural City of Mildura local government area, with the state electorate of Mildura and the federal division of Mallee. The postcode is 3496.
The name "Yarrara" is believed to be derived from an Aboriginal word, possibly from the language of the Wotjobaluk people who traditionally inhabited the broader region, though the precise meaning is not documented in authoritative sources.
Yarrara is a sparsely populated area, predominantly agricultural, with grain cropping (especially wheat and barley) and livestock grazing as the main economic activities. Historically, the locality was served by a railway station on the Mildura line, which facilitated the transport of agricultural produce, though passenger services have since ceased. The region experiences a semi-arid climate typical of the Victorian Mallee, characterised by low rainfall, hot summers, and cool winters.
Nearby natural features include the Yarrara Flora and Fauna Reserve, managed by Parks Victoria.
