Mildura:

North:

• Lake Mungo in SW NSW:
  • dry, eerie, desert landscape eroded by wind which takes the sand to the nearby sand dunes
  • site of ancient Aboriginal culture dating back to perhaps 60,000 years ago until ~15,000 years ago when it dried up in the climate change that also resulted in Tasmania becoming separated from the Australian mainland.
  • 100km (~1hr) drive NE from Mildura along unsealed roads but 4WD not required - but avoid when recent rains
  • best time to visit is March - October as too hot in Summer
  • Harry Nanya Tours 
  • accommodation:
    • Mungo Lodge
    • two camping sites (fires and wood only) at the main camp - info NSW Parks
