The Hundred of Yatala is a cadastral unit of hundred in South Australia covering much of the Adelaide metropolitan area north of the River Torrens.[1][2] It is one of the eleven hundreds of the County of Adelaide stretching from the Torrens in the south to the Little Para River in the north; and spanning from the coast in the west to the Adelaide foothills in the east. It is roughly bisected from east to west by Dry Creek.[3] It was named in 1846 by Governor Frederick Robe, Yatala being likely derived from yartala, a Kaurna word[4] referring to the flooded state of the plain either side of Dry Creek after heavy rain.[5][6]
