Lake Mungo National Park's "The Walls of China", is an eroded lunette on the eastern side of Lake Mungo, carved into fantastic shapes by strong winds and the occasional rain which falls. The average rainfall for the area is around 250 mm per year. Sunset is a magic time highlighting the different coloured layers of the Mungo sediments giving an eerie beauty to an alien landscape.
Lake Mungo is a dry lake in south-western New South Wales, Australia. Many important archaeological findings have been made at the lake, most significantly the discovery of the remains of Mungo Man, the oldest human remains found in Australia, and Mungo Lady, the oldest human remains in the world to be ritually cremated.
