Nukku is a locality in the South Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia.[2]
History
The locality name was formerly a railway station name, used from 19 December 1912, reportedly using an Aboriginal word (Waka language, Dungibara dialect, Koolaburra clan), meaning watershed.[2]
Tennis great Roy Emerson attended Nukku State School for his early education. The former school building now houses the Roy Emerson Museum in Blackbutt.[3]
