Willandra Lakes Region,Australia.



The fossil remains of a series of lakes and sand formations that date from the Pleistocene can be found in this region, together with archaeological evidence of human occupation dating from 45–60,000 years ago.
Willandra Lakes Region is also of exceptional importance for investigating the period when humans became dominant in Australia, and the large species of wildlife became extinct.
Mungo National Park is subject to a management plan which aims to maximise conservation of both natural and cultural heritage values while also conserving biodiversity and facilitating appropriate visitor access carefully controlled to sensitive areas,.  Access to sensitive areas in some areas are excluded, to mitigate adverse impacts on World Heritage values.
Once again received this well preserved heritage site card from Norma.Thank you.
