The traditional owners of the area are the Jingili people. The area around the Amungee Mungee waterhole, from which the station takes its name, is a significant dreaming area for the Jingili. and was inhabited by the Hills in 1971. The family fenced the property and stocked it with 1,250 head of cattle. The family left the property and went back to Queensland after their son died in 1977. Reg and Mollie Hartig acquired the property shortly afterwards and remained there until 1981 when Reg died and was buried on the property. As of 2014 the property was still on the market along with at least 15 others in the Kimberley and Northern Territory. The destocked property sold later the same year for 6.5 million by the Zlotowski family to a partnership. The majority partner in the venture is BB Retail Capital, headed by Brett Blundy, and the other partner is the Bullwaddy Pastoral owned by Adrian and Emma Brown. 10,000 head of cattle were purchased from the Australian Agricultural Company to restock the property later in 2014. The partnership hope to increase the number of watering points around the property from 20 to 160 and increase the stocking rate from 20,000 head to 100,000 head of cattle. ==See also==
