Mungana Archaeological Area, Archaeological site in Chillagoe, Australia.
The Mungana Archaeological Area contains remnants of mining infrastructure, domestic buildings, and a cemetery across its extensive grounds in Queensland's mining region.
Mining operations at Mungana commenced between 1893 and 1894 under John Moffat's direction, employing 70 workers to extract minerals from the Girofla lode.
The cemetery at Mungana, established in the early 1900s, contains both marked and unmarked graves that document the lives of mining community members.
The archaeological site provides researchers with preserved foundations, equipment remains, and artifacts that reveal information about Queensland's mining operations.
The Girofla Mine's pumping installation ranked among Queensland's largest mechanical systems during the peak of mining operations in the region.
