Mungo Festival celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage Area.

In 1981 the Willandra Lakes Region was inscribed on the World Heritage list for outstanding natural and cultural universal values. The Willandra Lakes, especially Lake Mungo, record more than 40,000 years of climate and landscape change. Aboriginal people lived around the lakes throughout this time leaving a near continuous record of their life in this changing landscape.

Today, three Traditional Tribal Groups look after the landscape and archaeological treasures of the World Heritage Area, in partnership with pastoralists, scientists and government.

In September 2006 we held the Mungo Festival Concert at Mungo National Park and a series of Mungo Conversations throughout the region. Now we are planning the World Heritage of Human Origins Conference and Mungo Youth Conference to be held in April 2007. More details via menu on right.
