About

This fantastic and magic place is of great significance to the Ngyiampaa, Mutthi Mutthi and Southern Paakantyi people, whose connection with the land reaches back more than 40,000 years.

Mungo National Park is about 150kms North of Balranald, NSW, 876kms west of Sydney and 720 from Melbourne. Mungo National Park is part of the Willandra Lakes Region, a World Heritage Site covering 2,400 square kilometres, and incorporating seventeen dry lakes.

The area is known worldwide for the outstanding archaeological finds like Mungo Man (the world’s oldest human cremation), Mungo Woman, and human footprints dating back to the last ice age that tell an incredible story about the long history of Australian Aboriginal people.

Our tours are very flexible and we’ll do as many stops as needed, so we can show you the flora and fauna of the region and to “sense” first-hand what makes Yanga such a unique place.

Tours are all inclusive and you only need to bring good walking shoes, your favourite hat and of course your camera. We’ll supply all the rest.

If you don’t find exactly what you require on the menu below we will be more than happy to tailor-make itineraries to cater your needs and interests. Happy planning!

Adventure Tips

Bring sturdy walking shoes

The trail crosses uneven, sandy surfaces—durable footwear is essential for comfort and support.

Stay hydrated

Carry a water bottle as the semi-arid climate can quickly dehydrate you during the 7-hour tour.

Sun protection is a must

Wear a hat and sunscreen; the exposed desert terrain offers little shade.

Camera with extra batteries

The sunset and geological formations provide excellent photo opportunities — be prepared to capture them.
