Mungo Outback & Conservation Journey
Highlights
- Explore ancient dry lakebeds at Lake Mungo, where 50,000 years of Aboriginal heritage come alive.
- Discover eroded lunettes revealing archaeological treasures, showcasing climate transformation over millennia.
- Search for unique arid-zone wildlife, including rare malleefowl and vibrant desert parrots.
- Immerse in the diverse ecosystems of Hattah-Kulkyne National Park, experiencing Australia's natural beauty firsthand.
Experience one of Australia’s most significant cultural and natural heritage sites on this six-day journey through the Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area.
Lake Mungo preserves 50,000 years of continuous Aboriginal occupation – the longest documented habitation of any land by any people on Earth – alongside extraordinary geological evidence of climate transformation spanning the last ice age.
Walk across ancient dry lakebeds where megafauna once roamed alongside early Aboriginal communities, and explore eroded lunettes that reveal archaeological evidence spanning millennia. Search for arid-zone wildlife, including two species of great kangaroos, pink cockatoos, rare malleefowl and diverse desert parrots.
Beginning in Mildura, this tour combines exploration of Hattah-Kulkyne National Park’s diverse semi-arid ecosystems with immersive days at remote Mungo Lodge, where you’ll discover why this vast landscape earned World Heritage status for both its cultural significance and its extraordinary geological record of climate change.
