Mantung Madness

Somewhere out there east of the Murray in the mallee beside a forgotten railway line without tracks lies a forgotten little town of Mantung. This little hamlet once serviced the steam trains between Karoonda and the Riverland. All that remains are the water tower, a few homes and a number of dilapidated houses and piles of stones where houses once stood. It's two greatest assets are it's remoteness and mains water.

No need for a Post Office. The town does not even have a sign to let you know that you have just passed it.















The PMG mail truck is currently out of order!





















A local shrine honouring the good old days
















Jesus of Mantung performing a local ritual of "Renewal"
















Beautiful Mantung where the TV is out and communication is in.
