Christmas Hills

Christmas Hills is a rural locality 37 km north-east of central Melbourne, between Kangaroo Ground and Yarra Glen. From north to south Christmas Hills extends from St Andrews to the Yarra River at Chirnside Park, a distance of 12 km.

It was occupied for grazing by 1842 and a shepherd named David Christmas became lost. He was found at a rise which became known as Christmas Hill, and the name was given to the district.
