Find out more about this area's important Aboriginal cultural heritage and significance. Learn about the rich archeological evidence, megafauna, the once-full Lake Mungo, and the park's unique landscapes.

The visitor centre may be staffed for short periods during school holidays, when rangers from the region's 3 Aboriginal groups lead guided tours.
