Southern Lost City Circuit

Starting from the end of Southern Lost City Road, Limmen, this walk takes you on a circuit around the stunning sandstone rock formations / spires, exploring the arid yet lively land of Limmen National Park along the way. The said rock formations vary in height and some of them are an astounding 40-metres tall, leaving you in awe. They have an ancient and otherworldly feel to them, and the whole thing can be a humbling and spiritual experience. Depending on the season, you may be welcomed by heaps of wildflowers and interesting bird species. The campground is well-maintained and features drop toilets along with fireplaces if you want to spend the night in this serene environment. The fee for camping is paid on-site, pre-booking is unavailable. 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.
