I did the Mungo Lodge tour of the Walls of China with Peter. Everyone in the group got. a lot out of it. The area is visually stunning The archeology is fascinating. Peter did a great job of helping us imagine the area at the time it was most fertile and most densely inhabited. I strongly recommend this tour. We also went back the next day and looked at the video in the Visitor's Centre. Very worthwhile.

Walls of China are intriguing; they are in Mongo National Park. The viewing platform gives you a great insight into the adjacent lake and the spectacular rocky Walls of China. The Walls of China can be explored in a self-guided tour. Mungo National Park is in Outback New South Wales. The oldest human remains ever uncovered in Australia were found here.

70km dirt road in, best tip is to come in from Balranald rather than Mildura as the road quality is much better to and from Balranald. About the same distance but a much easier drive. Had shingle backs, kangaroos, emus, wild pigs, sheep, foxes, wild cats, all keeping us amused and on alert as we were driving in. Stop at visitors information centre to pay for National Park pass ($8) which also has toilets and a small room with information about the area. While parked here you can also visit the old woolshed and surrounds. Keep a look out for bearded dragons hiding under the bushes along the path. All easy walking and ample parking. There is also an old water storage next to the woolshed and a raised platform for you to look across towards the Walls of China. More dirt road to get to Walls of China and Red Hill Lookouts. Take note of kangaroos taking shelter under bushes beside the roads during late afternoon. You can go as far as Red Hill Lookout and return back the way you came, otherwise if you drive beyond the lookout, you must continue one way all around the loop which brings you back to near the information centre. After driving so long on the dirt road in, we didn't want to put ourselves or our car through any more than needed so turned back. Red Hill Lookout was great to see the lunar type landscape up close. An easy boardwalk took you to the end where there was some information signage. Even though we did the sunset tour later in the day, this vantage point would have been a great substitute and going by the number of cars that we saw driving out after the sun went down, I think many people agree. There is plenty of parking at the Walls of China lookout. An easy walk along a boardwalk. Note that you cannot enter the dunes or Walls of China if you are not on a tour, so this is where your walk ends.

Fascinating experience, with some great guides, in fact you cannot do without them as they are so knowledgeable. The drive in by bus is so necessary because of the dirt road. Listening and looking at the things the guide pointed out are so interesting. It is a changing landscape. The place is so old. What a great learning experience it was. The tourist area at the start you should not miss. What a wonderful experience.

Did the tour to the walls of China with the NSW national park and wildlife. This was a amazing experience which I highly recommend doing if visiting the mungo national Park. The guide was a indigenous lady from the area who was very passionate about the area and was also great value at $50. Do not tour the area with any other operators.
