Mungindi

Mungindi is a town (population 747 in 2016) on the Barwon River, straddling the New England region of New South Wales and the Darling Downs region of Queensland in Australia. Unusually, it is one of the few towns around in Australia where it's located in two jurisdictions, unlike other cities like Albury-Wodonga where they're considered as "twin-cities".

    Neeworra Historical Site

    An abandoned settlement, first settled in 1890 after a flood including houses and a wine shanty. A railway station was built in 1913 but the line closed in 1974. The residents began to abandon the settlement when Mungindi got reticulated water and electric power in 1938, and the shanty burnt down in 1962. Information signs at the site explain the history and significance of Neeworra.
