The town is around {{convert|1150|km|mi}} north east of Perth and {{convert|124|km|mi}} south east of Newman, along the Jigalong Mission road. The town was established in 1914 as a telegraph station. The station was closed in 1977.[1] The telegraph station was a link on the Australian Overland Telegraph Line linking the settled regions of Australia to the submarine cable at Broome. A weather station operated at the site between 1915 and 1981.[2] The town housed employees of the Postmaster-General's Department responsible for the maintenance of the station, and their families. The only buildings on site were "the Post Office, an engine room, a trunkline equipment building, a pump house (good quality water came from a bore) and a line depot".[1] The "town" was never a large one. {{quote|At the time [1964] the complete population of Mundiwindi comprised the Guthrie family [Tom, a Senior Technician, and his wife, and their children, Stephen, Sharon, Tommy and David], District Line Officer Fred Atkins and his wife, who was the Postmistress and Lineman Bill Wright and his wife and sixteen-month-old daughter, Michelle. Mr and Mrs Atkins had been three years at the old Mundiwindi Station which is about seven miles south, and three years at the present site.|APO Magazine|[1]}}In 1973 the town was hit by Tropical Cyclone Kerry, causing some damage to buildings.[3] The site is now deserted and the buildings are in ruins.[4] References1. ^1 2 http://www.hibeach.net/mundiw.html 2. ^http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_007062.shtml 3. ^http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/history/kerry73.shtml 4. ^http://www.hedera.ukpc.net/searching_for_mundiwindi.html External links{{commons category-inline}}
