I have been lucky enough to visit Lake Mungo (in western New South Wales, Australia) where the oldest human remains in Australia have been found - dating over 60,000 years. There are still traces of old bone and charcoal fragments of fires from people living there many thousands of years ago. It is very humbling and poignant to think of these people living so long ago, yet so much like us. They cared for their people and buried them in a careful and respectful way, they made things, they left artwork and carefully worked tools.
We were so struck by Lake Mungo that we visited it again 2 days later, even despite the remote area and dirt track.
