The Willandra Lakes Region is a World Heritage Site in the Far West region of New South Wales, Australia.[1] The Willandra Lakes Region is the traditional meeting place of the Muthi Muthi, Ngiyampaa and Barkinji Aboriginal tribes.[citation needed] The 240,000-hectare (590,000-acre) area was inscribed on the World Heritage List at the 5th Session of the World Heritage Committee in 1981.[1]
The Region contains important natural and cultural features including exceptional examples of past human civilization including the world's oldest cremation site.[citation needed] A small section of the region is protected by the Mungo National Park.
The World Heritage status of the region was created and negotiated in 1981.[1] The site was gazetted on the Australian National Heritage List on 21 May 2007[2] under the Environment and Heritage Legislation Amendment Act (No. 1), 2003 (Cth).[3] The region is also listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register.[4]
