Mungo National Park

Location
Mungo National Park

View Pictures
Mungo National Park covers most of an ancient dry lake bed on the plains of south western NSW. During the ice ages, Lake Mungo was one of a chain of freshwater lakes strung along Willandra Creek, then the main channel of the Lachlan River. These dry lakes preserve one of the longest continual records of Aboriginal life in Australia, dating from around 50,000 years ago through to the present day. Dating of ancient burials shows that these are the oldest known fully modern humans outside of Africa. The park is also famous for the spectacular Walls of China dune formation, particularly beautiful at sunset and sunrise. The walls can be accessed via a boardwalk that has been constructed to minimise damage to this unique and fragile environment.

The Visitor Centre is located near the main entrance to the park. This provides a range of information about the park and its natural and cultural heritage. Payment of camping and day use fees are made here.

Bunk house accommodation is available at the shearers quarters. Bookings in advance are made through the Lower Darling Area Office (ph: 03 5021 8900)

Basic camping facilities including pit toilets, tables and fireplaces are provided in the Main Camp. Guided 'Discovery' tours run during school holidays.


Directions: Mungo National Park is located 110km northeast of Mildura and 150km northwest of Balranald. All roads in and around the park can become impassable after rain.
