Maloga Aboriginal Mission Station also known as Maloga Mission or Mologa Mission was established about 15 miles (24 km) from the township of Moama, on the banks of the Murray River in New South Wales, Australia.[1] It was on the edge of an extensive forest reserve. Maloga Mission was a private venture established by Daniel Matthews,[2][3] a Christian missionary and school teacher, and his brother William. The mission station operated intermittently in 1874, becoming permanent in 1876.[4][5][6][7] The Mission closed in 1888, after dissatisfied residents moved about 5 miles (8 km) upriver to Cummeragunja Reserve, with all of the buildings being re-built there.
The community at Maloga were people of the Yorta Yorta Nation and other groups from the Murray River region.[4] There are reports of the Maloga cricket team competing with other teams in the area.[8]
