Mungindi
Discover Mungindi
Mungindi is a town (population 747 in 2016) on the Barwon River, straddling the New England region of New South Wales and the Darling Downs region of Queensland in Australia. Unusually, it is one of the few towns around in Australia where it's located in two jurisdictions, unlike other cities like Albury-Wodonga where they're considered as "twin-cities". The name Mungindi means 'waterhole in the river' in the indigenous Kamilaroi language. The European explorer Major Thomas Mitchell passed through the district in the 1830s in search of areas for agricultural development. A ford just upstream from the present bridge became the location of a camp for drovers moving stock across the border, and a meeting place for the Kamilaroi people. A hotel was established in 1863, and the first blocks of land in the settlement were sold in 1888.
