Mungindi, a unique town straddling the Barwon River, is a must-visit destination for travelers. One of its distinctive attractions is the Mungindi Sculpture Trail, a 2.5km open-air art gallery featuring ten rustic sculptures by award-winning local artist Tony ‘Nicko’ McMillan. These sculptures, such as "Kangaroo - Don't Shoot" and "Red and Blue Brolgas," uniquely cross the Queensland/New South Wales border, making for a one-of-a-kind experience.
Another notable attraction is the Mungindi Hot Artesian Pool, where visitors can relax and rejuvenate in mineral-rich water. The pool, which remains at a constant 38°C, is surrounded by a tranquil country environment, offering a perfect spot to unwind and soothe weary bones.
Additionally, Mungindi is home to the One Ton Post, allowing visitors to fulfill their wish of seeing surveyor JB Cameron’s famous surveyor peg. This unique opportunity enables visitors to touch the very peg that JB Cameron erected with his own hands, providing a tangible link to the town's history and heritage.
In addition to these attractions, Mungindi's border town status, running on two time zones in the warmer months due to eastern daylight savings time, adds to its distinctive charm. With its unique location, rich history, and one-of-a-kind attractions, Mungindi offers a truly memorable travel experience for visitors.
