About this campsite

Mungallala Rest Area, nestled between Mitchell and Morven, is a small town with a significant sawmill, a centerpiece of the local economy.

Mungallala boasts a rich heritage, creating a unique charm that extends a warm invitation to visitors for an immersive regional Australian experience.

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.
