The Doc has a long drive ahead to Balranald in NSW. Home of one of the State’s newest National Parks, Yanga NP (not to be mistaken for Yengo NP in the Blue Mountains of NSW). Yanga NP is located at Balranald, and Balranald markets itself as the gateway to Mungo NP, some 120km away. Mungo is part of a world heritage listed site and has the famous Walls of China formations.

It was also where Mungo Man was found. The oldest human remains found in Australia, somewhere between 40,000-68,000 years old. The remains are not a DNA match to Australian Aboriginals, they are more closely related to Europeans. That surprised a few people.

The Doc suspects it is the wrong time of year for the Yanga NP visit, but Mungo NP should yield some nice landscape shots, weather permitting.

Then home via Wagga Wagga (visit a friend) and the ACT to have the water watch system for the diesel looked at.

Reached Balranald safely.
