Aboriginal Discovery Tours

The award winning Mungo Aboriginal Discovery Tours are conducted in Mungo National Park by rangers from the three tribal groups of the Willandra Lakes region.

Aboriginal Discovery Tours are the best way to learn about Mungo National Park and its ancient heritage, with the Aboriginal people who have lived the landscape for 45,000 years.

The Walls of China Boardwalks are open to public access. Supervised access to the Walls of China beyond the boardwalk is available through Discovery Tours or a licensed tour operator.

Tours operate throughout the year and are dependent on weather and road closures. See below for upcoming tours or phone 03 5021 8900.
