The Village People told me to Go Westtttt to Lake Mungo but whats in between?

First the song, so you will have it in your head for the rest of the day

Hubby told me hes always wanted to go to Lake Mungo, which was news to me, so thats what Im planning and May has a lunar eclipse so figured why not because, "(Go west) Life is peaceful there, (Go west) in the open air, (Go west) where the skies are blue, (Go west) this is what we're gonna do!"

So after I looked up Lake Mungo on the map Im thinking we drive from Sydney to Balranald (accommodation) via Parkes (to see the Dish) but what else should we stop and see on the way? Coming back we might return via Wagga.

Any suggestions and many thanks!

For those, like me, that didnt know where it was

For some weird reason yesterday the Village People popped into my head and I was trying to recall the characters. Thanks to you I now remember them and also can't get the bloody song out of my head

When I went there in June 2020 a large part of the park was closed. The national park website says that this is still the case. Just in case you weren't already aware.
