Magdala was a Lutheran settlement established in the late 1890's and consisted of a school (1903-1940), a cemetery and the meeting rooms for the Mudla Wirra North Council. No remnants of the original settlement remain except for gravestones of the cemetery located on CT 5783/875. A memorial plaque has been erected on the site of the original school.
