The Lost City - Cape Crawford and onto Nhulunbuy

I think you will find it is western lost city through the locked gate. It is really spectacular. Southern lost city is just off the road through the park - no gates. Also worth seeing.

Hi Ben,

Lorella Springs has helli flights to the lost citys (Southern & Western)...
and the southern is only 40 min drive from the homestead, and the western can also be a day trip (long day).
It also backs onto the Southern Citys and can excess from the property..
Bauhinia Springs is known as poppy pools you will have to ring them and arrange a visit...It has been some years since I heard of anyone going their.

Cheers Andy

Roper Bar the crossing on the river is worth looking at. Drive over and turn around on the other side for photos.
There is a camp at the roper bar but Tomatoe Island to the south is much better but very popular (crowded) with fishing types.
Enjoy the area, we thought the whole drive from Cape Crawford to Roper bar very interesting. Port Roper could be given a miss???

Ben we didn't bother going to Lorella as we spoken to a few people that had been and said there wasn't much water around and a lot of the rock pools were dry as they have had 2 poor wet seasons in a row.
For $20 each for me and the missus per night just too have a site with no utilties will save our trip for when the park is at its best and go then and spent a week or so.

Re: Bauhinia Downs and Poppy's Pools:
We visited that site and stayed a night in 2013. There is 29km of station track to the homestead which is run by the local indigenous. A $100 fee is charged to visit the pools and stay per night. It was absolutely fantastic!. Hot pools, cold pools, beautiful horizontal falls, and little evidence of any visitors. The local young kids come and swim late afternoons and again in the mornings. We walked the last 500 meters to the pools then drove in with the camper van in for the night. You really need to assess this last bit before driving it. Most people camp out on the flats. We still remember it as one of the best outback nights ever. Make sure you are up at first light for the golden effects of first light on the rocks.
