Mungalla Aboriginal Tours

The history and culture of Mungalla tours begins at the grand Mungalla Station homestead where they introduce you to 45 000 years of Nywaigi Aboriginal Culture. Here you can view artefacts and learn to throw a boomerang or spear. Then board the bus for a short trip to the original homestead site where they introduce you to Irish settler James Cassady and his family who were the first European settlers on Mungalla. As you view the remnants of the "old Mungalla site" hear the pioneering stories of these first white settlers and view old pictures of this historic site, let your thoughts drift back in time and imagine how it was in its glory days.

Return by bus to the homestead to experience the truly amazing Captive Lives story that tells the unbelievable story of two groups of Aboriginal people displayed as human curiosities throughout the circuses of Europe and America, the most famous of these being the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth. This amazing story is captivated in a travelling exhibition that toured nationally and was seen by over 300 000 Australians. Interact with Aboriginal people as they share this wonderful story with you.
