What a magical evening at the Walls of China! ๐ŸŒ… This lovely couple enjoyed a recent Mungo Sunset Tour, soaking up the golden light, wide-open skies, peaceful silence and unforgettable sense of space as the sun slipped below the horizon. ๐Ÿ™Œโœจ

Spring is arguably the best time of year to visit Mungo National Park, with mild, warm days and cool nights, wildflowers and fresh green growth after winter rain, wildlife babies out and about, and long golden evenings made for photography. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒฟ

Look whoโ€™s visiting the Mungo lunette! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก The striking Red-backed Kingfisher (Todiramphus pyrrhopygius) is a regular sight around the Walls of China, where the crumbly clay outcrops make the perfect lookout perch for birdwatchers and photographers. With turquoise-blue wings, a white breast, bold black eye-stripe and rusty-red back and rump, this dry-country kingfisher is a real outback beauty! ๐Ÿ“ธ

Despite its name, it rarely catches fish. From a low perch, it launches onto insects, grasshoppers, beetles and crickets, as well as small skinks and lizards. In doing so, it helps keep insect populations balanced. A natural pest controller for the bush and nearby farmland. It is also an important part of the food chain, acting as both predator and prey. ๐ŸŒฟ

Seeing one at the lunette is more than a beautiful wildlife moment... itโ€™s a living sign that this unique landscape is healthy and working as it should. Have you spotted a Red-backed Kingfisher at Mungo? Let us know in the comments! ๐Ÿ‘‡

Spring has arrived in the outback, and everything is looking very, very beautiful! ๐ŸŒธ The round-leaf pigface is flowering everywhere right now, creating incredible carpets of vivid magenta-pink, daisy-like flowers with bright yellow-white centres. ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’›

But I always wonderโ€ฆ why do they call it pigface? I keep looking for the pigโ€™s face and can never find it! ๐Ÿท Do you know the answer? Let us know in the comments, mates! ๐ŸŒฟ

Seen from above, the Mallee country near Balranald looks like a living artwork after good rain! ๐ŸŒฟ The spinifex hummocks and mallee trees sit like green dots and circles across the deep red earth, creating beautiful patterns and shapes that can only truly be appreciated from the air. Everything is coming back to lifeโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s remarkable to remember that early explorers described this country as โ€œhell on earthโ€. Imagine trying to push through dense, trackless scrub with horses and carts : no roads, no water and little shade. Their journeys must have been unbelievably tough. Today, gliding over this landscape, the same country feels peaceful, intricate and full of renewal. โค๏ธ

3. They are tough survivors perfectly adapted to our outback river systems. ๐ŸŒŠ

And here is some super exciting news... very soon, you will be able to see them live in a brand new fish tank at the Balranald Visitor Centre! Make sure to drop by and check them out next time you are in town. ๐Ÿข

Imagine standing on the ancient dry lakebeds as the sun sets and a massive, golden moon begins its ascent over the horizon. The outback comes alive in a completely different way after dark, and we want to share that magic with you! โœจ

Our Mungo Full Moon Tour takes you deep into the heart of the World Heritage-listed Mungo National Park. Watch as the soft moonlight dances across the sculpted ridges of the Walls of China, creating shadows and textures you just can't see during the day.

The highlight? Our unique Lunar Picnic! ๐Ÿงบ Under the glow of the full moon, we enjoy a peaceful bite to eat surrounded by the vastness of the desert. Itโ€™s quiet, itโ€™s grand, and itโ€™s a memory that stays with you forever.
