Hi. Can anyone tell me if you can still drive to either
Lost City or
Lost City West in
Newnes NSW ? I have heard it was going to be locked up, but not sure if that has actually happened ?
Is one easier on the vehicle than the other ?
Thanks

The popular track is blocked at the top of the
hill. It's sort of a big car park. It's not a long walk down. There are 3 other tracks that give a view, the closest one to the west was open a few months ago as was the more difficult track on the southern side of
the gorge. There's another overgrown spur further west but it pinstripes your car. Who knows what the future holds for any of them with the plans they have in place to turn the whole area into an adventure playground.

Thank you. When you say "popular track", is that to
Lost City, or
Lost City West ?

OK, so I visited
Lost City West successfully in January 2023. I managed to drive the entire track with no road closures. The last kilometre is badly rutted, and two of the three vehicles elected to park and people walk the last bit. Some ruts were approaching a metre deep, and descending proved more hectic than the return trip up. Quite doable.
