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.
