About Mungy

Mungy is a vast, almost uninhabited rural locality in the North Burnett Region of Queensland, covering approximately 359 square kilometres of grazing country northwest of Gayndah and northeast of Eidsvold. At the 2021 census it had effectively zero residents, having recorded just 3 people in 2016. The Gin Gin–Mount Perry–Monto Road traverses the locality, making it a remote but connected stretch of Queensland's inland farming belt.

The locality consists of open grazing country and scrub, typical of the North Burnett inland region. There are no shops, schools, or services within Mungy itself; the closest facilities are in Mount Perry (to the east) and Eidsvold (to the west), with the larger town of Gayndah about 56 km to the south-east. The area appeals to those seeking large holdings for cattle grazing or rural investment, and sits within the federal Division of Flynn and state electorate of Callide.

Mungy falls under postcode 4671 and is governed by the Bundaberg Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Hinkler, while state elections fall under the Callide electorate.
