Guide to Mungo National Park

Explore one of the world's most significant archaeological sites while discovering a rich First Nations history.

You won't see many places on Earth quite like this lunar landscape, made up of dried-up lake beds and sand dunes. An archaeologist's dream, steeped in Aboriginal history, it was here that the remains of Mungo Lady and Mungo Man (said to be roughly 40,000 years old) were discovered. Tour this Unesco World Heritage-listed site with a First Nations guide and open a window into Australia’s past.
