The park contains the oldest Aboriginal burial site and where you will see the Walls of China which are spectacular crescent shaped dunes. Any spot beside the Darling River is a pleasant place to stop for a picnic. Pooncarie to Mungo National Park is 88 kilometres of which 29 kilometres is unsealed. This unsealed section can be prone to bulldust and corrugations and closes after rain. Not recommended for caravans.
