}}Yalata is an Aboriginal community located 200 kilometres west of Ceduna on the Great Australian Bight in South Australia. At the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Yalta and the surrounding area had a population of 248.[1]

History

The community consists mainly of Anangu who lived in the spinifex country far to the north around Ooldea prior to their forced removal to Yalata in 1952. In the 1950s areas around Maralinga and Emu were used for Atomic Testing by the British Government of the day. Around this time the Australian Government resumed much Anangu land to be used for the Woomera Rocket testing Range. As a result, Anangu were moved to Ooldea in the first instance then later moved to the Yalata site. The Maralinga Tjarutja native title land was handed back to the Anangu under legislation passed by both houses of the South Australian Parliament in December 1984 and proclaimed in January 1985. The Yalata Aboriginal lands cover 4,580 km² and span approximately 150 km of the Eyre Highway. Inland Anangu resettled on the land in 1995 and forming a community at Oak Valley. Regular movement of Anangu between Yalata and Oak Valley occurs.{{Clarify|date=July 2016}}

Environment

The Atlas of South Australia describes the Yalata area as:
sandy plain with deep sand and parabolic dunes. The vegetative cover is open mallee scrub with a mixed understory of chenopod shrubs and grasses and low open woodland with a chenopod shrub understory.

Demography

Anangu regard themselves as a Southern Anangu people and speak a Southern dialect of the Pitjantjatjara language.[4]

At the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Pitjantjatjara was spoken as the primary language in 50.4% of homes in the Yalata area. The main religion of residents was as follows, Lutheran: 37.3%, no religion 15.4%, Australian Aboriginal Traditional Religions: 10.8% and not stated: 33.6%.[1]

Facilities

Yalata Roadhouse, 200 km west of Ceduna, was operated by Yalata Aboriginal Community Incorporated. There is also a caravan park to assist tourists passing through or visiting the Great Australian Bight for fishing or whale watching.[5] The roadhouse was closed in February 2006.[6]

The lands of the Yalata bear their own name. A portion of these lands in South Australia's remote west, comprises Yalata, one of the four local government areas of South Australia classified as an Aboriginal Council (AC).

On 21 August 2007, the Adelaide Advertiser reported that fire had overnight destroyed the shed-structure police station and associated home, with damage costing approximately {{A$}}500,000.[7]

Governance

Yalata is governed at the local level by the Aboriginal Council of Yalata, one of the five local government bodies in South Australia classified as Aboriginal Councils (AC). At the state and federal levels, Yalata lies in the electoral district of Flinders and at the division of Grey, respectively.
