, which is part of the
Lake Eyre drainage basin
.
[2]

to the east.
[5]
The region is with a sub-basin of the
Great Artesian Basin
. The Great Artesian Basin supplies water from bores to the towns of Muttaburra and
Aramac
. The area is well known for its good quality land that is used for sheep and cattle grazing.
[6]
The main industry of the Muttaburra area is grazing.

History
[
edit
]
Muttaburra lay on the traditional tribal lands of the
Iningai
.
Iningai
(also known as Yiningay, Muttaburra, Tateburra, Yinangay, Yinangi) is an
Australian Aboriginal language
spoken by the Iningai people. The Iningai language region includes the landscape within the local government boundaries of the
Longreach Region
and
Barcaldine Region
, particularly the towns of
Longreach
,
Barcaldine
, Muttaburra and
Aramac
as well as the properties of
Bowen Downs
and catchments of
Cornish Creek
and
Alice River
.
[10]
The name of the town derived from an
Iningai
clan name, the Muttaburra, who were the
traditional owners
of this area. According to some sources, muttaburra meant "the meeting of waters" or "camping ground" or "meeting place".
[11]
The area was once part of a vast inland sea.
[12]
Muttaburra developed as a town in the 1870s. In the
Brisbane Courier
of 10 October 1877, the local correspondent noted that,
"The Land Commissioner has been round this way lately, and surveyed the new township, one and a half-mile from Mount Cornish; its name I do not know, and I don’t think anybody else does, as it is undecided. I hear there is a store open now, also a public house, and I suppose there will be other business places shortly."
[13]
The town was officially declared in 1878.
[14]
Bruford Street, the main street, took its name from a saddler, Mr. Bruford, who established a saddlery repair shop there, in that same year. The need for other services, such as hotels, the Cobb & Co changing station, blacksmiths, banks and general stores were also soon accommodated.
[15]
50 allotments of Crown Land were made available to the public for sale by public auction at
Aramac
on 18 June 1878,
[16]
at which "Mr Sword, Land Commissioner, disposed of forty six town allotments situated at Muttaburra. They were one acre divisions, upset price £10. Twenty three fetched the upset price, the remainder sold at a considerable advance, two of the lots realising £50 each."
[17]
The first post office was built in 1887 and then replaced with a modern building in 1926.
[14]
In March 1881, the
Queensland Government
held a land sale, auctioning 60 town lots in the town of Scarrbury.
[18]
The government had set aside 4 square miles (10 km
2
) of land for the town in November 1876.
[9]
Muttaburra was also the scene of one of the most daring acts of
cattle duffing
ever performed in Australia.
Henry Radford
stole cattle from
Bowen Downs Station
and drove them 1,300 kilometres (810 mi) through the mostly unexplored
Central Australia
region to the Blanche Water station in northern
South Australia
. He sold the livestock for £5000, and was later charged with theft and tried at the Roma District Court. Despite overwhelming evidence from the prosecution and no witnesses put forward by the defence, a jury found him not guilty within an hour. He was greatly admired for crossing Central Australia unscathed.
[19]
The transcript of the delivery of the verdict reads, "Judge: What is your verdict? Foreman of the Jury: We find the prisoner 'Not Guilty'. Judge: What? Foreman of the Jury: Not guilty. Judge: I thank God, gentlemen, that the verdict is yours, not mine!"
[19]
One of the prominent early settlers to establish themselves in Muttaburra was Edward Rowland (Rofley) Edkins, who was the first Manager of Mt. Cornish, the original outstation of Bowen Downs.
[20]
He was also Chairman of the Aramac Divisional Board (1882, 1886 - 1888, 1891, and 1902); a member of the Muttaburra Hospital Committee (1885); Muttaburra Jockey Club President (1891); Muttaburra Hospital Committee President (1891); and Marathon Pastoral Society President (1891).
[21]
He died at
Drummoyne
,
Sydney
, on 14 August 1905.
[20]
Edkins married Edwina Marion Huey, daughter of Dr Walter Huey (1797-1843) of
Launceston
in
Tasmania
.
[20]
Edwina was well known in the district, and also a composer of a number of musical works, related to the area, including
Malboona Gavotte
,
[22]
Wee Bimba: waltz
,
[23]
The Women of the West
[24]
and the
LC5 Waltz
[25]
She was remembered as "the most kindly of kind hostesses and the wife of one of the most outstanding men of the pastoral industry in Australia".
[26]
In 1884, a hospital was built with funds raised by the local community. The first doctor was Dr Overend from Melbourne and Mr Lawry was the first Wardsman. By 1901, the Muttaburra Hospital was equipped with one of the earliest x-ray units to be installed in any country hospital.
[15]
[27]
The Muttaburra Hospital closed in 1974 due to the small population.
[28]
Muttaburra State School is one of the oldest schools in the district. The school was opened on 18 February 1884 with an enrolment of 17. Its highest enrolment was 112 students in 1903.
[29]
[30]
In 1937, the new school building and teacher's residence were completed.
[29]
[30]
In 2009 at the school's 125th anniversary, a total of 1593 students had enrolled through its history.
[31]
The town dam was built in 1885 by Mr Hudson.
[32]
[33]
For some years this dam was the source of water for the town and water carted into town in casks. Residents paid 2/6 per cask although double this amount was not uncommon. Later the dam was also used as the town's swimming pool.
[34]
St Joseph's Catholic Church was built in 1888. In 1943, it was destroyed by cyclone.
[35]
A new church was built in 1948.
[36]
In May 1891, approximately 400 shearers camped near Muttaburra during the
1891 Australian shearers' strike
.
[37]
Union Hole is where the shearers drew water and carted it back to their camp by dray. There are still some remains of the campsite visible today.
[34]
All Saints Anglican Church was built from
corrugated iron
in October 1903 by Mr Hack.
[38]
It was opened and dedicated on Wednesday 18 November 1903 by
Bishop of Rockhampton
,
Nathaniel Dawes
. He
confirmed
70 young people as part of the visit.
[39]
[40]
[41]
[42]
The Cassimatis Store opened in 1914 but was closed in 1978 having been a bank, green grocery, haberdashery, emporium, cafe, white goods merchant, and liquor store.
[34]
In 1911, Andrew Andrew (A.A.) Cassimatis and his son George left the island of
Kythira
(which lies between
Crete
and the mainland of Greece) to come to Australia. They worked in
Sydney
and
Bundaberg
before establishing themselves in Muttaburra.
[43]
They built their own general store in 1918, after renting local properties for a number of years. The Cassimatis became one of the oldest agents in Australia for
Mobil Oil ? Australia
? previously known as The Vacuum Oil Company of Australia. They also bottled their own methylated spirits and kerosene, using their own label.
[43]
George Cassimatis was a J.P. and Councillor representing Muttaburra on the
Aramac Shire Council
. He sat on various committees and played a significant role in the developmental history of Muttaburra. The store was reopened in 2001 after a full renovation. Fire destroyed the store in the morning of 6 January 2009.
[44]
However the shop and service station has now been rebuilt by A. E. Rose Constructions (Peter Rose), and is open for business again. Originally a drover's cottage was situated alongside the family's general store; it was built in 1903 and purchased by George Cassimatis in 1934.
[45]
[46]
90 men and women from the Muttaburra district served in some capacity in the First World War.
[47]
In 2015 a new memorial was designed and installed by J.H. Wagner & Sons. The front face of the memorial has three bronze sculpture badges for Australian Army, Australian Navy and Australian Air Force.
[48]
The Muttaburra branch of the
Country Women's Association
was formed in August 1927 with 34 financial members.
[49]
The Ruby Bayliss QCWA Hostel opened in 1955 to provide accommodation for out-of-town expectant mothers.
[16]
Dr Joseph Arratta served for thirty-five years at the hospital in Muttaburra from 1925 to 1960.
[50]
He was awarded an M.B.E. in 1959 in recognition of his service to medicine.
[51]
[52]
The Muttaburra Public Library building was opened in 1961.
[53]
In 1963, Muttaburra was the discovery site of the
Muttaburrasaurus
, one of Australia's most famous dinosaurs, by Doug Langdon.
[14]
[54]
The dinosaur is believed to have been 12 metres (39 ft) long, 2 metres (6.6 ft) high from the hip and weighing 15 tonnes (17 short tons). It was a herbivore, with rows of grinding teeth, and probably ate plants such as ferns, cycads and conifers. It may have lived in herds.
Muttaburrasaurus
lived around 100 million years ago, during the
Cretaceous period
. Several specimens of this dinosaur have been found in central and northern Queensland, and a few teeth have been found in
New South Wales
.
[54]
There is a full size replica in the town.
[55]
At the
2006 census
, Muttaburra and the surrounding area had a population of 106.
[56]
In the
2016 census
, Muttaburra had a population of 88 people.
[57]
On 22 November 2019, the
Queensland Government
decided to amalgamate the localities in the Barcaldine Region, resulting in five expanded localities based on the larger towns:

Jericho
and Muttaburra. Muttaburra was expanded to incorporate
Bangall
,
Cornish Creek
(western part),
