The Lost City

Highlights

The Lost City in Litchfield National Park is like stepping into a world of ancient ruins, except it’s all created by nature! These massive sandstone formations, shaped over millions of years by wind and rain, look like the remains of a forgotten civilisation. The maze of narrow alleys and towering pillars is perfect for exploring.

Fun fact: These sandstone structures are over 500 million years old! It’s like walking through history. The 10-kilometre 4WD track to reach The Lost City is an adventure in itself, offering stunning views along the way.

Adult Supervision Recommended
