After a short walk along the river and a quick stop in Balranald for supplies I headed out to Mungo National Park.
Looking back over Lake Arumpo.
Of course, all the lakes here are dry and have been for thousands of years.
After a late lunch in the picnic area I walked the Foreshore walk through the dunes behind the visitors centre.
Looking over the picnic area and the woolshed at Mungo towards the Walls of China on the horizon.
Mungo was one of the old pastoral properties in the bed of Lake Mungo.
The woolshed at Mungo.
Off in the late afternoon across the floor of the lake to The Walls of China. This is where the dunes have eroded creating lunettes and exposing 40,000 years of aboriginal life on the shores of the lake. These shots are taken from the Walls of China boardwalk. You are not allowed to leave the boardwalk and walk up through the lunette unless on a guided tour.
From the boardwalk I then commenced the 70klm one way loop drive which drives up and over the dune system. The next photos are from Red Top Lookout and boardwalk as you top the dune and look back over the Walls of China.
Belah Camp is about half way through the 70klm loop in the mallee and where I stayed for the night with the campground to myself.
A last panorama of the Walls of China from the boardwalk.
