History edit
The name Mutdapilly is believed to be a combination word from the Yuggera language (Yugarabul dialect) where mudtherri means sticky or muddy and pilly means gully.[3][2] The name was given by Captain Patrick Logan on 9 June 1827.[5]
Local farmer, Mr Denman, donated 2 acres of land to build a school. The Normanby State School and teacher's residence was opened on 27 April 1874; the first head teacher was John Stanfell Clowes who served at the school until 31 July 1876. The school was renamed Mutdapilly State School on 1 April 1968.[6][7][8]
St Aidan's Church of England was built in Mutdapilly in 1921. It was a timber church building, designed by Charles Chauvel (the Australian filmmaker). It was dedicated on Easter Monday 15 April 1922 by Coadjutor Bishop Henry Le Fanu.[9] The church closed in 1974 and the building is now used as a residence.[8][10][11] It is at 3994 Cunningham Highway (27°46′11″S 152°39′01″E / 27.769692°S 152.6504°E).[12]
