Mungo National Park

Phil, we have covered this in our personal trip journal. Sorry its not in a trek note format - I wasn't collecting enough data at the time. Oh well, better go back eh? wadda ya think? Its a bizzare place, smaller than you think but worthwhile I think. Camping is good from my point of view. Roads easy. Fuel no worries, water no worries. Go for it!

Hi Phil, We visited Mungo a few months ago. The Roads to the park are all formed roads and no problems for a 2wd. There are two campgrounds at the Park – the one at the main entrance is well laid out with heaps of room, toilets, tank water, fire pits and even a shelter with a gas BBQ. The second camp area – Belah Camp-is in behind the “Walls of China” - about 30 km in on the loop road that take you on a one way trek through the Park – This second camp ground has no facilities and I don’t think you are permitted to have a fire.

You can also stay at the old Shearer’s quarters, which are near the Visitors Centre.
The phone number for the NPWS at Buronga is 03 5021 8900, give them a call and they’ll give you all the info and send you a map etc.

You wont have any problems in a 2WD (unless it rains), we had a friend tag along in a sedan and never missed a beat. Fuel is available from Mildura – 110km or Ivanhoe –191km.

It’s an amazing place, and take heaps of film. We’re already planning our next visit.

Cheers

HI Phil , It’s the number for the NPWS Lower Darling Area Office, they are situated in Buronga which is on the border. The number is correct 03 5021 8900.
Cheers

You must have a bbq at the hills over looking the mungo mungo plains at sunset. Outstanding!! dont for get the silverton pub challenge ,not as hard as you might think.
