Name meaning
The original source for the meaning of Balladonia does not seem reliable. I have also found an alternative meaning for the name "Balladonia's name is derived from the Aboriginal (Mulba's tribe) word 'bariajuinya' meaning 'big red rock by itself'" from https://www.aussietowns.com.au/town/balladonia-wa. But they also note there is no evidence for this name "Balladonia takes its name from the Balladonia Station and the homestead which was built in the area after the first settlers arrived in 1879. It has been suggested that 'balladonia' is a local Aboriginal word meaning 'big rock by itself' but this is not listed in The Encyclopaedia of Aboriginal Australia. ". I suggest that unless a reliable source for this is found, the name meaning be removed. 131.217.255.209 (talk) 22:10, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
