The town takes its name from the creek, which is a tributary of the
Lockyer Creek and ultimately contributes into the
Brisbane River which flows into
Moreton Bay. The Ma Ma Creek War Memorial commemorates three brothers: James, George and Bertie Andrews who were all killed in action in
World War I. The memorial was erected in 1920 by their mother Fleurine Elsie Andrews. Although a private monument, it is used by the wider community for
ANZAC Day ceremonies. Ma Ma Creek Provisional School opened on 27 October 1880. On 21 January 1889 it became Ma Ma State School. In 1916, the school building was relocated to a new site. == Demographics ==
