Off The Beaten Path: New South Wales
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • New South Wales is not exactly off the beaten path from Mildura, though you do have to cross this large bridge to get to it, and when you get there, it does look like you're off the beaten path because everything looks much dryer, the further you get away from the life of the area, the Murray River.
    In just a few kms into NSW, you look like you're in the outback.

    Off The Beaten Path: Mungo National Park
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Mungo National Park is 100 km north east of Mildura, but seems less off the beaten path these days than the last time we visited (several years ago) where the gravel road into the park was in much worse condition and the maximum speed a car or mini 4x4 could expect to go was about 50 km hr....this time, we had no trouble travelling most of the way at 100, so were there in no time.
    This place is SO worth a visit... I'll explain more later when I've time.

    For now I'll leave you some photos of the lunettes (formations of sand and silt and mud) at the most popular feature of the park, the Great Walls of China.

    Off The Beaten Path: Mungo National Park at Sunset
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Not to be missed! Sunset at Mungo was one of my best memories of the park, with the changing light and shadows over the lunettes.

    Off The Beaten Path: Desert creatures at Mungo
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Most of the several lizards we saw on the 100 km trip into Mungo National Park were just by the side of the gravel roadway.

     More Transport Tips: Qantas have several daily flights, there's a V/Line bus/train service from Melbourne, bus to Adelaide, and also flights to Adelaide. Public Transport: a local bus service run by Sunraysia Bus Lines travels several routes about town.
