== History == The locality takes its name from a pastoral run name. The name was first used in 1842 by [[St George Richard Gore]] pastoralist and politician. The run was at first briefly known as Grass Tree Creek and there is still a creek by that name in the area. The origin of the name ''Yandilla'' is unclear. One claim is that it is a local Aboriginal word meaning ''running water''. Another claim is that it is named after a village in Ireland as St George Gore was a brother of the 7th Baronet of Manor Gore in Donegal.<ref name=qpnl/>
All Saints Anglican Church is a timber church which was erected at Yandilla Station by the Gore family about 1878 on the site of an earlier church, which it closely resembled. The graveyard around the church is believed to have been established in 1863 supplanting the previous custom of burial close to the homestead.<ref name="qhr">{{cite QHR|15497|All Saints Anglican Church and cemetery Yandilla|600722|access-date=1 August 2014}}</ref>
