Manunda a suburb of the city of Cairns, in Queensland, Australia.

 

The southern part of Manunda is residential while the northern part contains several community amenities including sportsgrounds and the Cairns Cemetery (also known as Martyn Street Cemetery). In-between is a commercial/industrial.

 

It was created in 1939 after the Lands Office in Cairns the Queensland Government auctioned 11 town lots of between 30 to 39 perches between Little Street and the cemetery.

 

Manunda was named by the Queensland Place Names Board in 1973, after the TSMV Manunda boat of the Adelaide Steamship Company who had regularly visited Cairns.
