Mungalla Aboriginal Tours

Wonderful to get feedback from guests on our tour.
"I just wanted to thank you for such a nice excursion to your Mungalla. We had so much fun learning your ways and experiencing your cattle station.

Keep up the great work you are trying to do to help the youth of your community turn into productive, meaningful citizens. It is so important in all communities, but especially in yours from what you taught us today.

We loved that you drove us in the bus, with me in the front seat boring you with all my questions, and stopping along the road to demonstrate "sandpaper plant" and green ants. It was very interesting.

Everyone really got a kick out of throwing the boomerangs and almost killing three visitors...haha!

Wishing you and your family much success in the future.""

Some of the amazing birdlife on Mungalla Station ….a big thankyou to Simon Kennedy from Birdlife Australia who does an amazing job documenting and recording the birds on Mungalla and particularly the birdlife returning as a result of the wetland restoration projects. Amazing to see the rare Long Toed Stint all the way from Russia...apparently this bird hasn't been seen in Queensland for a number of years and the baby Sea Eagle...great to see heaps of Pelicans in Molonga creek as well.

Mungalla Aboriginal Tours had a great time last Friday with some of the smaller schools in the beautiful Hinchinbrook Shire coming to Nywaigi country to our Forrest Beach State School celebrating NAIDOC week with the theme 'Keep the fire burning! Blak, loud and proud' the children did hand prints on the cut-out fire trees to keep in with the 2024 theme. Thanks to Dep Mayor Mary Brown from the Hinchinbrook Shire Council and all the schools, teachers & parents who attended. Thanks all who helped and also Lisa Scobie who cooked the amazing lunch and also the Mungalla Staff & aunty Joanne who helped out with the activities which included boomerang throwing , spear throwing, and hunting & gathering activities and painting.

Wonder if our plane is still flying around?

We’re thrilled to introduce ‘Mungalla’, the newest Boeing 737-800 in our fleet. Named after Mungalla Station, the flagship site of Greening Australia’s Reef Aid project, the aircraft is now in service across our domestic network.

Launched in 2016, Reef Aid aims to improve water quality on the Great Barrier Reef by restoring 700 hectares of priority coastal wetlands and 2000 hectares of eroding gullies across the reef catchment area.

Tourism experiences can be enhanced by allowing people to see and hear about the work being done to maintain & care for country. First Nations people have cared for country sustainably for thousands of years and we want to share the experience with everyone!

Blue carbon ecosystems are critically important. Meet the Australian and Fijian Traditional Owners working to restore them.

Mungalla Station has some great native ingredients that can be used in cooking flavorsome meals...

Indigenous chef Jack Brown is on a mission to get more native Australian ingredients into everyday cooking. Brown was trained in traditional French cuisine, and believed Australians are not making the most of the abundant ingredients available in our own backyards.

Mungalla Aboriginal Tours had the pleasure of hosting the staff from State Development & Infrastructure, Townsville this month. Great bunch of folks. They enjoyed the day and were kind enough to send us some great feedback

“It was incredible to learn about how the Nywaigi Aboriginal people use their deep relationship and knowledge with nature to survive – accessing fruits, seafood, plants and wildlife for food and to make goods”. – Amy Savage, A/Regional Director

“I was pleased to gain insight into the initiatives being undertaken in the region to preserve natural wetlands and to reinstate connection to country”. – Travis Johnson, Graduate Legal Officer

“Seeing the homestead as it stands today and what remains of the original property landscape (the original pillars that are still standing and the graves of James Cassady and his son, the first European settlers on Mungalla), put it all into perspective.” – Sharon Po***ck, Principal Economic Development Officer

“the captive lives exhibition/story really captured me. Truth telling is such an important part of reconciliation and it is by bringing to light these stories that I think we can honor and understand the experiences of Aboriginal People and start taking steps toward healing and unity.” – Mara Emmerling, Graduate Policy Officer, Industry Strategy

Thanks guys from the staff of Mungalla Station

Up the River!!

The mighty Herbert River💧

The Herbert River travels through the Hinchinbrook Region and leads out to the channels🎣 It is wild in the floods but a gentle sandy river in the dry season. The Herbert River is home to many crocodiles 🐊
