About this tour

Walk the Mungo lunette with an Aboriginal guide from NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service who'll unlock 40,000 years of Indigenous history at this sacred site. Over two hours, you'll traverse the Walls of China landscape—a geological record etched into red and white dunes—while learning the deep cultural knowledge of Lake Mungo's Traditional Owners and the broader Willandra Lakes region. You're welcomed to Country and guided through a landscape that speaks to ancient ways of living and connection to Country.

What to expect

Your guide will meet you at the Walls of China carpark after a scenic drive through the park. The walk takes you across boardwalks, formed tracks, soft sand, and sloped ground—a mix that keeps you moving through different surfaces. Expect a measured pace that allows for detailed storytelling about the landscape's significance to Aboriginal peoples and what archaeology has revealed about life here tens of thousands of years ago. The dunes themselves are the main event: stark, sculpted formations that give the Walls of China their name.

Good to know

You'll need moderate fitness for uneven terrain and sand walking. Bring water, sun protection, and sturdy footwear. Park your own vehicle at the carpark; parking fees are separate. Service animals are welcome. The two-hour experience is fully guided—independent access to the lunette isn't permitted.
