'''Meunna''' is a rural locality in the local government areas (LGA) of [Circular Head](/source/Circular_Head_Council) and [Waratah–Wynyard](/source/Waratah%E2%80%93Wynyard_Council) in the [North-west and west](/source/North-west_and_west_LGA_Region) LGA region of [Tasmania](/source/Tasmania). The locality is about {{convert|74|km}} south-east of the town of [Smithton](/source/Smithton%2C_Tasmania). The [2016 census](/source/2016_Australian_census) recorded a population of nil for the state suburb of Meunna.<ref name=Census2016Y/>

==History== 
Eight farms were established at [Preolenna](/source/Preolenna) for [soldier settlement](/source/soldier_settlement_(Australia)) following [World War II](/source/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.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://members.iinet.net.au/~cdibley/meunna.html |title=Meunna Soldier Settlers |access-date=30 December 2016}}</ref>
