Villages Index

Like most rural settlements in the region, Kunghur and Midginbil were established when timber getters harvesting the sub tropical rainforests, cleared the way for diary and cattle farmers.

Dairy and cattle farming remain the primary industries, with outdoor activities like bushwalking, birdwatching, horse riding and canoeing available at Midginbil Hill Country Resort or budget camping grounds dotted around.
