The Mona Mona Aboriginal Mission is a former Seventh-day Adventist mission for Aboriginal people established around 1913 near Kuranda, Queensland, Australia.
In 1913, large numbers of people, particularly of the Djabugay people, were rounded up and forcibly taken to the mission.[1] Until 1940 it was almost self-sufficient, growing its own food, and cutting and milling timber.[2] After this period, soil fertility deteriorated and with the increasing costs, the mission soon became unviable. Also the city of Cairns was growing and needed more water. A decision was made to flood Flaggy Creek, which flowed through the mission land and would have flooded the mission houses.[citation needed]
In 1962 the mission was closed and the people were removed to other missions in places such as Great Palm Island and Woorabinda.[1] However the dam did not go ahead, and some Djabugay people and former residents have moved back to Mona Mona and built houses. They have been waiting for the Queensland Government to consider building new houses for all residents and other infrastructure, including a school.[citation needed]
In 2010 the state government gave the local Indigenous people a 30-year lease of the Mona Mona area.[1]
