Mungo National Park

"A stunning window into the outback of NSW, easily accessible from Mildura and highly worth the stop. There is so much history to explore I would recommend booking a tour to learn about it while you’re there. Best time to visit: March-October My top spots: - Red Top Lookout (15 mins) - The Walls of China (30 mins*) - Mungo Lookout (10 mins) - The Woolshed (5-20 mins) - Zanci Homestead (10 mins) - Self-Driving Loop (1.5 hours) *The walls of China are a main attraction here however, to gain access onto the walls themselves you will need to be accompanied by an approved guide. These can be taken with rangers from the national park or an external company, at the time of visiting the nearby Mungo Lodge runs both morning and sunset tours. Depending on the experience you’re looking for the NP rangers focus more on the aboriginal history of the walls versus a more geological history of the walls run by the lodge. In my opinion, the sunset tour is worth spending extra on as the view is spectacular (weather permitting) and being able to see the landscape in 3 lights is incomparable. Accommodation options within the park include camping or bunkhouses. A range of accommodation types are also available at the close by Mungo Lodge. Weather planning is essential for this National Park, as rain can cause both the park and surrounding roads to be flooded and subsequently closed. Extreme heat is also a risk and there is little to no shade within the park. Check out my Mungo NP guide for more information and top tips!"
