Finding My Roots in the Rainforest

When friends questioned a holiday to “Shiptons Flat” and “Mungumby Lodge,” I embarked on a personal quest to uncover my family’s tin-mining history in Far North Queensland. What began as a journey into the unknown transformed into an incredibly rewarding experience, guided by Mungumby Lodge’s hosts and the warm hospitality of locals. Join me as I recount discovering ancestral homes, historical sites, and the vibrant heritage preserved in this remarkable region.
