Limmen National Park.NT.

We leave Mataranka behind and head along the Roper Highway towards Roper Bar. Passing several Creeks along the way with water in them, we pass Brahman Cattle, Horses, a group of 20 plus Donkeys and many Escarpments, a very pretty drive. We stop at Tomato Island in the Limmen National Park, excellent place for fishing if you have a boat.  Carrying on through Limmen N.P which has several water crossings.  We decide to camp at Butterfly Springs for 2 nights, the waterfall is still trickling, the Common Crow Butterflies are everywhere, lots of bird life and the swimming is fantastic!!

The Southern Lost City is 30 klm south of Butterfly Springs (Limmon N.P) a 2.5klm easy walk, gives stunning views and the bird life is excellent.   A very scenic Lost City.  Carrying on we cross the Limmon Bight, which is very pretty, with several small lakes. We make it to Borroloola where we camp for one night.
