Mamungari Conservation Park (CG)

Mamungari Conservation Park is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve containing arid zone wilderness. The park, which features red sand dunes covered with desert karrajong, acacias, desert gums and salt lakes, is of cultural significance to the Maralinga Tjarutja Peoples, who are its traditional owners.

Self-sufficient bush camping is permitted in this park. The site is only accessible by 4WD vehicles. There are very limited facilities and services available in the Far West, hence it is important that you are self-sufficient and carry adequate supplies of fuel, food and water.
