Munderoo is a small, quiet community located in the southeastern part of the Riverina region in New South Wales, Australia. It's a rural area, meaning it's mostly countryside with farms and open spaces, rather than a big city.

At the latest count in 2021, Munderoo was home to 58 people. This makes it a very small and close-knit place!

Exploring Munderoo

Where is Munderoo?

Munderoo is found about 11 kilometres west of a place called Mannus. It's also about 16 kilometres north of Ournie. These distances show just how spread out the communities are in this part of Australia.

What's in Munderoo?

Because Munderoo is a small community, it doesn't have many public buildings. The main one you'll find is the Bush Fire Brigade Shed. This shed is very important for the community. It's where the local volunteer firefighters keep their equipment. They help protect the area from bushfires, which can be a big danger in rural Australia.

You can find this shed at the intersection of Ournie Road and Linden Roth Drive. An intersection is where two roads meet, often forming a "T" shape.

How Munderoo Got Its Name

The name "Munderoo" comes from a nearby farming property. This property is called Mundaroo. It's located close to the same intersection where the Bush Fire Brigade Shed stands. Many places in Australia get their names from old farms or natural features in the area.
