Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Yatala Labour Prison" in English language version.
Yatala most likely derives from yertalla 'water running by the side of a river; inundation; cascade'. As Manning (1986:238) observes 'in winter when water flowed from the hills, over the plains, the Dry Creek area became a morass'.
