Mount Tully is a rural locality in the Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Mount Tully had a population of 121 people.[1]

Geography[]

The terrain is mountainous and most of the land use occurs in the flatter valleys.[3]

History[]

The locality was named and bounded on 15 December 2000.[2] It presumably takes its name from some local mountain peak, but no mountain of that name has been officially gazetted in the area, suggesting it is a local name.

Mount Tully State School opened on 1921 and closed circa 1943.[4][5]
