  1. I’m a newcomer to the area, and I’ve heard the name ‘Yandoit’ pronounced differently by people in Newstead, Clydesdale and Daylesford. How do locals say it, and does everyone agree? Is is:
    yan – doit (as in quoit)?
    yan – dirt (as in bert)?
    yan – do – it?
    yan – dit?

  2. I remember being corrected by a member of one of our pioneer families not long after arriving here.

    I had said ‘YanDOIT’, as in ‘quoit’, with emphasis on the second syllable.

    “It’s ‘YANdoit'”, came the admonition: emphasis was clearly on the first syllable, ‘doit’ as in ‘quoit’, but without emphasis.
