Mitta Mitta is a small farming community in the northeastern part of the Riverina region. This area is located in New South Wales, Australia. Mitta Mitta is about 30 kilometers (19 miles) south of Bethungra. It is also 21 kilometers (13 miles) northeast of Nangus.

What is Mitta Mitta Like?

Mitta Mitta is a quiet place today. It is mostly known as a farming area. You can find it by looking for the old St Stephen's Anglican Church. This church is about 8 kilometers (5 miles) west of the main road between Nangus and Bethungra. The road leading to it is unpaved.

Where Did the Name Come From?

The name Mitta Mitta has a special meaning. It comes from the local Aboriginal language. The words "mida-modunga" mean "where reeds grow." This suggests that long ago, this area had many reeds.

A Glimpse into the Past

Mitta Mitta once had its own Post Office. It opened on January 1, 1888. Later, in 1931, it became just a Telephone Office. It finally closed completely in 1936. This shows how communication methods have changed over time.
