Litchfield Lost City

Litchfield Lost City is a circuit walk starting from the car park at the end of Lost City Road (4WD). This walk takes you through the Litchfield National Park, where you can explore the natural heritage of the area. The main attraction is The Lost City, an impressive series of towering sandstones that give the impression of ancient city ruins. Please note that the access road is only suitable for 4WD vehicles, and the attraction closes during the wet season when the track becomes impassable. Camping is not allowed. A park pass is required for visitors to the NT to access this park. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
