Geography

Butchers Creek is on the eastern edge of the Atherton Tableland. It is one of the few parts of the tableland that drains eastward, its creeks being tributaries of the Mulgrave River.[2] The area receives high rainfall and the traditional land use has been for dairying and beef fattening.[3]

History

Butchers Creek is said to take its name from a massacre of the Ngajanji people at a bora ring in the area in the 1880s.[4]

In the early 20th century, a group of Russian emigrants established dairy farms in the area, giving it the nickname "Little Siberia".[5]

Butchers Creek Provisional School opened on 8 October 1913 with 11 students studying under teacher John Tait. It become Butchers Creek State School in 1918.[6] The school celebrated its centenary in 2013.[7]
