Mungo National Park is part of Willandre Lake World Heritage Region. Willandra Lakes were once filled by Willandre Creek which runs out of the Lachlan River near Hillston, held water between 50,000 and about 15,000 years ago, they were a wildlife paradise. Aboriginal people camped, hunted, fished and gathered food around these lakes. Oldest remains of Aboriginal occupation in Australia (about 40000 years before present) has been found about the south-eastern shore of Lake Mungo.
