Mungo national park in 2008

Has any water made Mungo

Rod, The Paroo is a long way from
Lake Mungo. Willandra Creek runs into the Willandra Lakes, one of which is
Lake Mungo. Willandra Creek branches off the
Lachlan River.
Cheers,
Val

Rod,
Have a look at a decent map - the Paroo runs from NW NSW south towards the Darling but unless its in flood doesnt really join up with it. Whereas the Lachlan runs into the Murrumbidgee which in turn runs into the Murray. There is NO WAY for water in the Paroo to get to
Lake Mungo.

Lake Mungo has been dry for over 10,000 years, so your chances of seeing water there are a bit slim.

We were at
Lake Mungo just last week; it is just so green and all the 'tanks' (man made waterholes/depressions) are full of water (no water birds) and a number of low lying areas are covered in water. The guide, an Aboriginal elder, we were with said he had never seen the place as green or as wet. But it is all local run-off, nothing from the river system, in any event, the channel bypassed Mungo thousands of years ago, that is why the lakes dried up.
