Mungo National Park and its famous Walls of China are must-visits for any traveler looking to explore the breathtaking central-western deserts of Australia. Located 550 km northwest of Sydney, the Walls of China is a stunning and unusual landform composed of crescent-shaped ridges of clay and sand. It was formed over thousands of years, after winds and rivers eroded the landscape. This park also includes over 1,500 lakes, which once filled with water came from the melting glaciers of the last Ice Age. The rest of the park, located on the shores of Lake Mungo, is made up of unique sand dunes and open woodlands. The park entrance is in nearby Mungo Village, where travelers can find basic services such as gas and supplies. Here, visitors can embark on self-guided drives and walks, from the picturesque Mutawintji Village, home of the traditional custodians of the land, to the cliffs surrounding the lake. The park’s visitor center can also provide helpful insight and guidance. A trip to Mungo National Park is a must for anyone looking to explore the outback of Australia!
