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]
