Euthulla is a rural locality in the Maranoa Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Euthulla had a population of 364 people.[1]
Geography
[edit]The locality is loosely bounded by Bungeworgorai Creek to the west.[3]
The Carnarvon Highway enters the locality from the south (Orange Hill) and exits to the north (Eumamurrin), and the Roma-Taroom Road exits to the north-east.[3]
Grafton Range is in the east of the locality (26°22′57″S 148°56′39″E / 26.3825°S 148.9442°E)[4] with Mount Bassett (26°28′44″S 148°52′46″E / 26.4788°S 148.8794°E) rising to 496 metres (1,627 ft) above sea level.[3][5]
There are a number of neighbourhoods within the locality, which take their names from railway sidings on the now-closed Roma-to-Injune railway line which ran through the west of the location along the now Oralla Road. From Roma heading north, the neighbourhoods / stations were:
- Tineen (26°31′00″S 148°44′00″E / 26.5166°S 148.7333°E)[6]
- Minka (26°30′S 148°42′E / 26.5°S 148.7°E)[7]
- Euthulla (26°28′45″S 148°40′57″E / 26.4791°S 148.6824°E)
- Nullawurt (26°28′00″S 148°40′00″E / 26.4666°S 148.6666°E)[8]
- Yingerbay (26°27′S 148°39′E / 26.45°S 148.65°E)[9]
There is another neighbourhood in the centre of the locality (not associated with the railway): Tabers (26°24′00″S 148°47′00″E / 26.4°S 148.7833°E)[10]
The land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation with some cropping. Most of the residential areas are just outside the boundaries of Roma.[3]
History
[edit]Euthulla Provisional School opened circa 1889. On 1 January 1909, it became Euthulla State School. It closed circa 1921 but reopened in 1927. It closed finally circa 1931.[11] The school was on the western side of Emoh Ruo Road (26°25′51″S 148°46′32″E / 26.43077°S 148.77560°E).[12][3]
Mooga Provisional School opened on 1 August 1904. On 1 January 1909, it became Mooga State School. It closed on 18 April 1937.[11] It was on the northern side of Mountainview Road (then within Mooga) but now within Euthulla (26°22′07″S 148°49′01″E / 26.36873°S 148.81698°E).[13][3]
Fortune's Crossing State School opened on 3 June 1912 and closed on 1928.[11] It was off Orallo Road, immediately east of Bungeworgorai Creek (26°25′48″S 148°38′08″E / 26.42987°S 148.63562°E).[12][3]
The locality takes its name Euthulla from the railway station name, given by Queensland Railways Department on 30 November 1916, supposedly an Aboriginal word, meaning unknown.[2]
The neighbourhood Minka also takes it name from a railway station assigned by the Railways Department on 29 April 1915, and is an Aboriginal word referring to a species of tree.[7]
The neighbourhood Nullawurt also takes its name from a railway station and is an Aboriginal word for an Acacia (wattle) species of tree. It was assigned from 11 November 1915, from a suggestion from the Orallo Farmers and Settlers Association.[8]
The neighbourhood name Tineen also comes from a railway station name, assigned on 16 October 1926, being an Aboriginal word, meaning mosquito.[6]
The neighbourhood Yingerbay is again the name of a railway station assigned on 11 November 1915, and taken from a pastoral run established in 1854, from the Mandandanji language, meaning a place of freshwater crayfish (yabbie).[9]
Euthulla Provisional School opened circa 1889. On 1 January 1909 it became Euthulla State School and closed circa 1921. In 1927 it reopened but closed finally in 1931.[11]
