Geography
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 (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.)[4] with Mount Bassett (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) 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 (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.)[6]
- Minka (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.)[7]
- Euthulla (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.)
- Nullawurt (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.)[8]
- Yingerbay (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.[9]
There is another neighbourhood in the centre of the locality (not associated with the railway): Tabers (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.)[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
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]
In the 2016 census, Euthulla had a population of 370 people.[1]
Education
There are no schools in the locality. The nearest primary and secondary school is Roma State College in Roma to the south.[3]
