Yelakitj Moort is the organization which is named after William Thomas Bennell, whose Nyungar name was Yelakitj, man of good hearing. He was given this name because he was always sitting down listening to his fore fathers telling the history of the Whadjuk and Ballardong people's story of the Swan River up to the Boyagin Rock areas along the Avon River. Yelakitj married Muriel McGuire the daughter of Doolyak and John McGuire. Doolyak was John Monger Bennell's sister, the original inhabitants of the Lake Monger and Herdsman Lake area.
