In the Willandra Lakes World Heritage area, Mungo NP is well known as the place of the first recorded human cremation about 40,000 years ago. Mungo National Park is situated in the NSW outback, 110kms from Mildura and 316kms from Broken Hill. If you travel through the Mildura area, don't miss out on Mungo National Park. It is best to visit in the cooler months of the year and rain usually falls in winter which makes spring and autumn perfect for your 4WD adventure to the area.

There is a small entry fee to the park and there are local fire restrictions to be observed. Check for an update with the local authorities before heading off on your 4WD trip. Mungo NP has two camping areas, both with toilets, BBQ facilities and firewood - unless there is a fireban in place. Although there is rainwater collection tanks it is advisable to bring your own supplies. Not just water but also sufficient fuel as there is no refueling possiblity on this 4WD track. You should calculate to be self sufficient for at least 300km.

Definitely the most fascinating natural feature of the park is the so called "Walls of China" which is a spectacular formation of eroded sand hills. There is plenty of wildlife to be seen along the 4WD trip and you will spot kangaroos and maybe emus and definitely plenty of pink cockatoos.
