Not sure the Philip Island approach would be the same category as Yarrowee. The approach still had a procedure for tracking from the VOR to the airfield (in IMC) and an IFR circling minima. The MAPt was set at a distance beyond the VOR to take you into the runway circling area so it was still associated with the Philip Island airport.
Yarrowee is just set on the edge of the ranges. I guess the intention was to allow an aircraft to get visual after crossing the hills and then go to any one of the numerous little ALAs in the area beyond in VMC.
