Q: Why does my registration have to be ‘approved’?
A: You would not believe the number of spammers that try to register on a site like this. When you register, a few details are collected – this enables me to filter out the spammers. If necessary, I may call you to check details. Information collected by yandoit.net is stored on the web server, but it is not publicly visible, nor is it sold or given to third parties.

Chronicle
Here you will find the current and back issues of Bill O’Donnell’s infamous organ.
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?
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.
