Download coordinates as: Etna Creek is a rural locality in the Livingstone Shire, Queensland, Australia.

[3] Etna Creek (the watercourse) rises in The Caves to the north and flows in a generally south-westly direction through the locality of Etna Creek, forming a short section of its southern boundary before flowing back into the locality and becoming the tributary of Fitzroy River in the south-west of the locality (23°14′26″S 150°24′39″E / 23.24062°S 150.41084°E / -23.24062; 150.41084 (Etna Creek (mouth))).

[3][4] Immediately east of the creek mouth is Long Island Bend Conservation Park, which includes an unnamed island in the Fitzroy River and part of the mainland, a total of 25 hectares (62 acres).

[2] South Yaamba takes its name from the pastoral run name given by pastoralist Peter Fitzallan MacDonald in the 1860s.

Yaamba is believed to be an Aboriginal word meaning main camping ground.

[8] In 1891, residents in Etna Creek employed a private teacher for their children, while lobbying the Queensland Government to establish a school with Mr P. Hinz offering a 2-acre (0.81 ha) site close to the main Yaamba Road for the school.
