About Southern Lost City
The Southern Lost City is a striking natural rock formation in Limmen National Park in the Roper Gulf region of the Northern Territory. It consists of tall, freestanding sandstone pillars and pagoda-like towers formed by erosion over millions of years. Located in a remote wilderness area, it is notable for its maze-like landscape and is one of two Lost City formations in the park.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a remote, arid landscape of weathered sandstone pillars, towers and narrow passageways that create a maze-like environment. The site is accessed on foot from a car park via short walking tracks among the formations. There are no built structures, with natural rock formations, spinifex and open woodland surroundings. The experience is focused on sightseeing, photography and short walks in a quiet, isolated setting within Limmen National Park.
