Geography

History
The locality takes its name from a pastoral run name. The name was first used in 1842 by St George Richard Gore pastoralist and politician. The run was at first briefly known as Grass Tree Creek and there is still a creek by that name in the area. The origin of the name Yandilla is unclear. One claim is that it is a local Aboriginal word meaning running water. Another claim is that it is named after a village in Ireland as St George Gore was a brother of the 7th Baronet of Manor Gore in Donegal.[2]
