Netherby is a rural locality in the Fraser Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Netherby had a population of 39 people.[1]

Geography

The Mary River forms the western and north-western boundaries.[3]

History

The locality presumably takes its name from its railway station,[2] which in turn was named by the Queensland Railways Department after the town in Scotland, thought to have some connection to a settler.[4]

Deborah Provisional School opened on 28 April 1885. On 1 January 1909, it became Deborah State School, but then closed on 31 December 1910. It reopened on 1 March 1921 as a half-time school in conjunction with Mount Urah Provisional School (meaning the two schools shared a single teacher). On 4 April 1927, the closure of Mount Urah School enabled Deborah State School to becomea full-time school once again. It closed on 5 June 1939.[5] The school was on Deborah Road (approx 25°47′05″S 152°29′27″E / 25.78460°S 152.49088°E / -25.78460; 152.49088 (Deborah State School (former))).[6][7]
