Long-form identifier:

GUID (UUID V4):

An abandoned mine located 15 km West of Chillagoe. The Red Dome Mine is (or was) a copper, gold, molybdenum and silver mine.
The Red Dome opencut gold mine, which operated between 1986 and 1996, subsumed the Dorothy, Magazine Face and Red Dome mine (Haupt and Hodkinson, 2025).

Note: Mungana was previously shown under Tablelands Region when Mareeba Shire was amalgamated with three other shires (Atherton, Eacham and Herberton) to form the Tablelands Region in 2008.

Mareeba Shire de-amalgamated from the Tablelands Region with effect from 1 January 2014. Accordingly, Mungana and mines nearby should now be shown as being in Mareeba Shire.
