09.01.2022 Blue and red taste better. Next time you are ordering kangaroo, keep that in mind. At least that's the opinion of Aboriginal Discovery Rangers Ernest K and Ri...cky Handy who regularly take out guided tours at Mungo National Park. Both are Paakantji men from Mildura and walking through this other worldly landscape with them is like walking back in time. Tell tale signs of human in-habitation are everywhere indicating this as a place where people once thrived. As Ernest and Ricky point out fireplaces that still hold the remains of cooked fish and find stone spearheads that were created many life times ago it's impossible not to feel that you are walking through a mysterious place. Who were the people that once lived here and how did they survive? When you stand on the sand dunes of Mungo National Park you are actually walking on what was once the shoreline of one of the bigger lakes in a string of 13 called the Willandra Lakes. It is here, on the edge of this lake, that some of the most ancient human remains on earth have been found - Mungo woman and Mungo man. Dating back over 42,000 years, these remains are the oldest found in Australia and the oldest modern humans in the world outside of Africa. Yes - this is a very special place. I've been to Mungo before. About 6 years ago when the earth was so dry and dead from years of drought I couldn't comprehend how anyone could survive out here. With the recent rainfall the whole landscape has radically changed. What was brown is now green, what was barren is now abundant with bird life and new vegetation and desert flowers grow everywhere. Even the great sand dunes have changed with the weather. The heavy rain has caused the area known as "The Walls of China" to collapse in parts and now entry is only permitted with the accompaniment of Discovery Rangers like Ricky and Ernest. When I first came here I was able to roam around this World Heritage site freely. But I have to say, walking this land with Ernest and Ricky as they share their knowledge about history and culture, just like the rains, really brings this place to life. On the way back to the Visitor Center Ernest tells me how a few weeks back the rains had filled the trenches along the edge of the road with water. He was driving along when he came across some young emu chicks that quickly ran into the puddles and swam off when the car approached. He giggled as he recounted watching their "little legs going for it". When I head out of Mungo National Park and back on to the Arumpo Road, I can't help but feel privileged that I live so close to such a significant Australian historical site. It's impossible not to learn something new from a tour around here - even if it's only that blue (aka Western Grey) and Red Kangaroo taste better than others and emus can swim. - First published by Lara van Raay April 2011 for ABC Open - collecting regional stories
