Ballaarat was the combination of two words Balla and Ararat aboriginal meaning
camping Place and the name used by the squatter, William Cross Yuille, who settled
at a swamp now called Lake Wendouree. The name was used until recently although
you can still find some older organisations using the original name
Norm Darwin
