One town, two states, and a well-earned Bronze!!
We are so pleased to share that Mungindi has taken out Bronze in the Tiny Tourism Town category at the 2026 NSW Top Tourism Town Awards, and if any place deserves recognition for being one of a kind, it's this one.
Straddling the NSW/Queensland border on the Carnarvon Highway, Mungindi is the only town in the Southern Hemisphere to share the same name across two states, where visitors can stand at the famous One Ton Post and be in two places at once. Not a bad party trick for a classic outback town that's also a natural stop on one of Australia's great road trips, a gateway to artesian waters and a place where cotton plains, river landscapes and country hospitality come together.
Congratulations Mungindi!
