Mungo Shearers Quarters
The recently refurbished Shearers Quarters are in the heart of the park, right beside the Visitor Centre/Meeting Place and a short stroll from the woolshed. It's the perfect place to have an enjoyable and relaxing stay while you explore Mungo.

You will need your own bedding (sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, etc). Four rooms have split system heating/cooling (limited, economical use is essential).
