Mungo Man

The Mungo man is thought to be the oldest evidence of human occupation on planet earth and he was discovered right here in the The Mungo national park. Apparently when his remains were found not so long ago they were thought to be 40000 years old. Below is a pic of one of his descendants and what he would look like today.

Mungo national park is a huge sand dune that had been formed into a series of wired sand sculptures by the prevailing winds. The best part about it though is the 40 klm one way race track......umm err sorry tourist circuit that circumnavigates it. We had a ball chasing each other around all the while dodging the errant wild life that was trying to kill us.
