History

Mullet Creek was formerly part of the locality of Littabella. It was named and bounded on 18 March 2005.[2]

Mullett Creek Provisional School opened circa August 1910 as a half-time school with Baffle Creek Provisional School (meaning they shared a single teacher between the two schoos). Baffle Creek School closed in 1915, after which Mullett Creek Provisional school remained a half-time school with Arthur's Creek Provisional School. In 1916 it became a full-time school (no longer sharing its teacher). On 17 January 1920 it became Mullett Creek State School. It closed circa 1963. The school name sometimes appears as "Mullet" (one "t").[3]

In the 2016 census Mullett Creek had a population of 84 people.[1]
