Located 204 km north of Marree, South Australia and 313 km south of Birdsville, Queensland it is the only fuel and supplies depot on the Birdsville Track.
The name "Mungeranie" is Aboriginal for "big ugly face". The homestead is composed of a hotel/pub and an airstrip 500 m away. It stands on the edge of the Sturt Stony, Tirari, Simpson and Strzelecki Deserts, nestled beside the Derwent River that is a permanent waterhole fed by an artesian bore from the Great Artesian Basin.
Very friendly owners and clean facilities. Get in early to find a nice spot to camp. They had no bread to sell us so bring your own.[July 2007]
Loved the place. Phil and Pam are great hosts. The friendliest pub owners we met. The hot pool is wonderful. Duck is very friendly too. Takes food from your hand. September 2007.
Friendly owners Phil & Pam are still there being friendly. July 2008.
