Yea are now limited to a V/Line coach service to Melbourne or Mansfield twice a day, and a coach service from Alexandra to Seymour via Yea once a day (on weekdays).. The Seymour train line 30 mins away by car is easily accessed for commuting to and from Melbourne with a frequent time table of train services. Religion Although private religious worship occurred beforehand, the first public services were probably held in the 1850s. In 1857 the Muddy Creek Mission was formed, and it arranged for the services of an Anglican lay preacher, though the building they provided "should be used for the propagation of Evangelical Christianity without respect to the minor differences existing among the Protestant Evangelical Churches." A church (intended by its builder to be a Baptist church) was taken over by the Presbyterian Church in the mid 1860s, with the present Presbyterian church opened in 1923. St Luke's Anglican church was opened in 1868, and the Catholic Sacred Heart Church in 1902. Education The town's high school is Yea High School. Managed also from the school is the Access Yea Community Education Program (AYCE), a statewide educational program that is designed to help school leavers and other students who do not fit into the regular school system. The Yea Primary School and the catholic Sacred Heart Parish Primary School provide education for primary-level students. Sport The earliest available record of a cricket match in Yea is for January 1869, against a Murrundindi side, though formal creation of a club seems not to have occurred until 1872. An early record of a lawn tennis match between teams from Yea and Alexandra - one which 'created a large amount of interest in consequence of its being the first occasion that the local club has pitted its members against those belonging to a distant club' - occurred on the Queen's Birthday holiday in June 1891, though a petition (submitted in the same year) to formally reserve land for tennis stated that it 'has been used for years by the Tennis Club'. Although signs at the entrances to the town state that Yea is the birthplace of olympic equestrian Bill Roycroft, he was actually born in Melbourne and grew up in Flowerdale. The Yea Football Netball Club administers the two sports in the town, seniors playing in the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football and Netball League, and juniors in the Seymour
