The Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area ranks as the most significant area for documenting Australia TMs unique cultural and environmental history. Parts of this remarkable archive are being lost through erosion. This project is the basis for a strategic research alliance between the custodians and managers of the area and leading Australian research institutions to build a picture of the continent TMs human and environmental history before this evidence is irretrievably lost. Lake Mungo is known to Australians as the site of the world TMs earliest cremation and a window into our remote past. We will provide novel insights into the evolution of the Australian landscape, its fragile environment and the history of its resilient inhabitants.

威兰德拉湖世界遗产区是记录澳大利亚独特的文化和环境历史的最重要的地区。这一非凡档案的一部分正因侵蚀而丢失。该项目是该地区的管理者和管理者与澳大利亚领先的研究机构之间战略研究联盟的基础，以在这些证据不可挽回地丢失之前建立该大陆人类和环境历史的图景。蒙戈湖被澳大利亚人称为世界上最早的火葬场，也是了解我们遥远过去的一扇窗户。我们将为澳大利亚景观的演变，其脆弱的环境及其弹性居民的历史提供新的见解。
