History
Eight farms were established at Preolenna for soldier settlement following World War II, referred to as the Preolenna Estate until being renamed to Meunna. The community hall was built by the settlers in 1955 and demolished in 1995, with a plaque now marking the location of the building. The Meunna locality is now unpopulated, with the exception of the Tarkine Wilderness Lodge, after the farms were acquired and converted to forestry plantation in the late 1990s.[2]
Meunna was gazetted as a locality in 1961.[3]
Geography
