East Gippsland Birding and Wildlife Conservation Journey
Tour
Journey deep into Australia's arid heart, where ancient granite outcrops rise from endless plains and the dry lakebeds of the Willandra World Heritage Area hold 50,000 years of human history. This eight-day birding expedition explores the remarkable biodiversity of Victoria's Mallee country and the iconic Lake Mungo National Park — a landscape where desert parrots flash brilliant colour against red sand dunes, endangered malleefowl tend their ancient mounds, and the sculptured lunettes of long-dry lakes glow gold at sunset. Travel with an expert guide as you search for over 150 bird species across dramatically different habitats: grey box woodlands alive with honeyeaters, spinifex-studded mallee sheltering elusive emu-wrens, vast salt lakes edged by fieldwrens and fairy-wrens, and the red dune country of Lake Mungo where pink cockatoos, mulga parrots and babblers thrive in the arid scrublands. Beyond birds, encounter western grey and red kangaroos, shingleback lizards, sand goannas and the rich Aboriginal heritage of one of Earth's oldest continuously occupied landscapes. Designed for birding enthusiasts who value authentic natural history experiences, this journey combines expert guidance, small-group exploration, citizen science contributions and immersive time in some of Australia's most significant and least-visited conservation landscapes.
Come and join one of the best Outback wildlife experiences in Australia. Discover the animals and history of the Australian Outback at Lake Mungo in the Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area. Track majestic wildlife and travel expansive red sand plains sprinkled with kangaroos, emus, and pink cockatoos. Your private nature tour is conducted by an experienced Wildlife Guide who reveals Mungo's arid land, wildlife and ancient Aboriginal Heritage. Walk in the shade of Desert Pines searching for brilliant parrots and sleepy lizards. Climb mighty sand dunes for expansive views over the desert. Experience the peace of the Australian Outback while staying in four-star accommodation at remote Mungo Lodge beside Lake Mungo. On this trip, you will be helping nature while you enjoy it. This is Conservation Travel. The primary purpose of this trip is to monitor and learn about the impacts of climate change on wildlife and vegetation. By travelling into areas such as Mungo and Hattah-Kulkyne, they can monitor change and, as citizen scientists, they can tell the world what they have seen and hopefully bring about change.
