Take a tour of Willandra Lakes Region in New South Wales, Australia - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

The arid, dusty terrain of Willandra Lakes National Park can be found in New South Wales, Australia.

The park consists of ancient dry lakes that were formed over millions of years, surrounded by plains and desert dunes.

The direction of the dunes in the region is a reflection of wind and other weather patterns.

Even amidst the sparse landscape, you can find man-made structures.

The size of the park is roughly 2,400 square kilometers, and includes the Mungo National Park as well.

Many species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and plant life still flourish in this semi-arid testament to natural history.
