Mungallala Rest Area
About this campsite
Nestled between Mitchell and Morven, Mungallala is a quaint town whose heartbeat is its thriving sawmill. Cypress Pine from extensive natural forests about 80 kilometers north forms the lifeblood of this mill, which under proper regulation from the State Forestry Department, carves this abundant resource into various building products. This charming town, although small, proudly retains its identity and necessity, thanks to the sawmill operation that has stood the test of time, shaping Mungallala's existence for over half a century. Every visit offers a reminiscent journey back in time, a unique peek into traditional timber milling practices, and reflects a wholesome, timeless relationship between man and nature.
