Mungo National Park
Mungo National Park covers most of an ancient dry lake bed on the plains of western NSW. The park lies 110 km north-east of Mildura and 150 km north-west of Balranald on the Arumpo-Ivanhoe Road, As all roads in and around Mungo can become impassable due to rain, it is advisable to check road conditions before going to Mungo.
A Visitor centre is located near the entrance to the park. A stop at the centre will enable you to learn about Mungo‘s natural and cultural history before you explore the park. A 60 km signposted track takes you on a round trip across the lake floor to the ‘Walls of China‘, over die dune to the Mallee country, then around the north-eastern shore of the lake. Picnic facilities, located at several points along the drive, are shown on the map.A visit to the ‘Walls of China‘ is a must. Here you can walk back in time through the layers of the dune. Climb to the top of the drifting sands for a spectacular view across the lake floor. A visit at sunset or sunrise is especially evocative, Remember that all Aboriginal artefacts are protected by law, so don‘t pick up or remove any that you may see.
Basic facilities, which include pit toilets, tables and fireplaces, are provided in the camping areas near the Arumpo Road park entrance and at Belah Camp off the drive tour. Please bring your own water.
