Grand Canyon, Mungo National Park, New South Wales Mungo National Park , outback New South Wales' other significant National Park is located 110 kilometres north-east of Mildura. Mungo is famous for its stark white Walls of China , a series of sand dunes that mark the edge of an ancient lake system which dried up 15,000 years ago. Mungo has also provided archaeologists with evidence, chiefly the skeleton of Mungo Man, of the earliest known Aboriginal inhabitants of Australia, dating back over 40,000 years. The fossilised remains of marsupial lions and Tasmanian tigers have been discovered in the Park. There is a camping area with amenities at Mungo, and a 65-kilometre drive through the Park has been designed to show visitors its ancient landscape.
Animal life includes kangaroos, echidnas, emus and a variety of lizards and snakes.
Mungo is virtually inaccessible in wet weather, and even in good conditions intending visitors should check with the National Parks and Wildlife Service Lower Darling district office in the Buronga Shopping Centre.
