Mutawintji Historic Site

If the spectacular landscape of Mutawintji doesn’t take your breath away, then the Aboriginal art at Mutawintji Historic Site surely will. This wonderful area within Mutawintji National Park boasts one of the best collections of Aboriginal art in New South Wales.

You can only visit this special park on a guided tour with an NPWS Aboriginal guide. Take the 2-4 hour Mutawintji cultural tour to discover the site’s history and culture, beginning with an audio-visual display and continuing through the ancient landscapes. Parts of the walk up to the site are challenging, but you’ll be so busy admiring the outstanding scenery, you probably won’t notice.

Or pull up a chair around the campfire on the Wiimpatja campfire yarn in Mutawintji and hear your Aboriginal guide share stories of their special connection to their Country.

At every turn, the ancient wonders of Mutawintji reveal themselves. You’ll see Aboriginal rock engravings and ochre stencils. Down on the flat plains you'll spot the remains of fireplaces, stone flakes and grinding stones. Kids and adults alike will enjoy listening to Aboriginal guides share their Dreamtime stories.

If you'd like to stay in the area you can book a campsite at Homestead Creek campground and enjoy the serenity of the Australian outback. Savour uninterrupted sunrises, sunsets and the mesmerising brightness of the outback stars.
