Mundalla Memorial HallPrint Page
The hall commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
In view of the substantial credit balance (over £525) held by Mundalla A H. & F. Society, it was resolved at the annual meeting last Monday night to recommend to the Committee consideration of the building of a new public hall as a soldiers' memorial in honour of the men of the Fighting Services, The desire was expressed that the building be undertaken as soon as conditions permit.
Border Chronicle (Bordertown, SA ), 29 September 1944.
Note : Mundulla is a town and a locality in south eastern South Australia. The name of the town is derived from the Aboriginal word mantala meaning "place of thunder", referring to a rumbling sound made when trampling on the earth. The Council enquired about the spelling in 1965 and the Postmaster General proposed to change it to Mundalla in 1972, but this was not approved by the Geographical Names Board.
