.Tours to the Lost City & Poppy's Pools


Cape Crawford is the gateway to the Lost City, a unique geological formation in the Gulf of Carpentaria region of Northern Territory, Australia, and to Poppy's Pools, a cool oasis in the outback desert.

The ground tours into the Lost City began operating in 1993 from Heartbreak Hotel and now Cape Crawford Tourism is the only tour organisation offering access to these awe-inspiring sites.

Contrary to it's name, Cape Crawford is not located beside the ocean, but some 110 kms South-West of Borrolola. It is named after Lindsay Crawford, one of the drovers who discovered the site in the early 1880's driving cattle across Australia from the East Coast.

Helicopter access is offered both from the Heartbreak Hotel and from the nearby Leila Creek Station, 8kms from the hotel on the Roper Bar Road. Free camping is available to self contained tourists.

Bookings are advised.
