Mungo up the Darling

Mungo never gets crowded so you should be OK even during the school hols. There are two camping areas, one near the Lodge and one inside the NP, along the loop road. Both are fine though the one inside the park is the more popular.
You won't regret going to Mungo it's magical. Though I'm not sure about the kayak, the lake's been dry for tens of thousands of years :-)

Hi Ken
We were up at Menindee a week ago. The two big lakes (Lake Cawndilla and Menindee Lake) are dry. Pamamaroo Lake,Lake Tandure and Tandure Lake all still ok.
There was plenty of good campsites on the waters edge, along the road that follows the southern edge of Lake Pamamaroo. If you follow this road to where Pamamaroo Lake and Lake Tandure meet and the Darling River leaves the lakes, there is a large camp area with toilets (Boure and Wills Camp Area).
There are also plenty of good, numbered campsites along the Darling, south west of Menindee in the Kinchega National Park, there is a fee and you may have to book ?. I suggest you call at the tourist info centre at Menindee, they were very friendly and helpful, they also have good "mud" maps of the area.
Enjoy your holiday !
Regards
Neil
