Eukey is predominantly farming land. Doctors Creek flows to the south-west and ultimately is a tributary of the Severn River. McLaughin Creek flows north and merges with the northward-flowing Quart Pot Creek which continues into Storm King Dam before continuing into Stanthorpe.[3]
Eukey Road commences in neighbouring Ballandean to the south-west and passes through Eukey exiting to the north into Storm King towards Stanthorpe.[3]
Eukey was originally called Paddock Swamp. It was renamed Eukey in 1905.[5]
In 1872 tin was found in Eukey by Alexander (Sandy) Ross and tin mining commenced in the district.[6][7] Sandy Ross's land was very wet and so the tin was dredged out by the Paddock Creek Tin Dredging Company.[8]
Eukey Public Hall opened in 1921 and celebrated its centenary on 16 July 2021.[5]
In the 2011 census, Eukey had a population of 510 people.[12]
In the 2016 census, Eukey had a population of 134 people.[1]
