Mutawintji National Park

We decided to make the most of our enforced stay in Broken Hill and booked into a day tour   Mutawintji  (pronounced moot-a-wint-ji) National Park, the sacred heart of the Byngnano Ranges, was once a busy meeting place for Australia’s ancient indigenous inhabitants. Their dreamtime stories, history and teachings adorn rocks and caverns, as stencils and engravings, providing a unique insight into the life & culture of the Australian aboriginal people. Mutawintji holds evidence of Aboriginal occupation dating back over 8,000 years.   Geoff and I were the only ones on the tour and it was an enjoyable day. 

 

 

 

Such arid and iconce Australian landscapes. Lots of Aboriginal history and art and fossils and ancient backgrounds. We saw lots of kangaroos and emus. The emus were so huge and run very fast. They are almost comical.
