S.T. Gill, Ballarat from the Black Hill, University of Ballarat Historical Collection
'Sketch of the Ballarat Goldfield, 1851, University of Ballarat Historical Collection.
To the Editor of the Geelong Advertiser
Ballärat
25 Nov 1851
Sir, Perceiving that the name of the Diggings here is generally pronounced incorrectly I beg to state that it is a Native name and that the accent in not on the last syllable but on the one before the last as written above. It is a pity that Englishmen should spoil the Euphony of the Native Language.
I am Sir Your most obedient servant
Archibald B. Yuille
Owner of the run Ballärat[1]
