That is most likely because that’s NOT the Lost city that FNQGU is referring to. LOL. My fault for ‘muddying the waters’ so to speak.

Ok, so maybe recognizing rocks was a bit of a long shot I guess.
These were part of the Western Lost City, in the Limen NP. Grab the code for the lock from the Ranger Station and drive out to them for an hour. Well worth the drive and in my view this area was better for formations than the Southern LC.
The Anvil rock and the other one that looks like a Guinea Pig or similar, are right beside each other.

Yep, Karijini is correct, but can you identify the actual location. It's quite a distinct rock formation in a gorge & access is via a different route into the park than most of the other gorges.
FWIW I reckon everyone should consider Karijini NP as a worthy bucket list contender, it is one of Australia's finest 'jewels'. Needs at least a week & good walking boots.

Just got the clue. Re the drownings in the swimming holes there.
UncleFrosty
19th October 2016, 10:57 PM
Yep - TPC named The Boulders first, so was going to give it to him, even though Innisfail is a fair way away... but Babinda is closest town. Well done to you both tho'!
Was just sorting out a better photo (borrowed from interweb) that looks downstream from the lookout (rather than upstream in my photo). Here it is...
69460
Guess granite gets sculpted like that with over 4m of rain falling each year. Also amazing how the water just disappears down holes in some places. No wonder so many people drown here!
Edit (other name is Devil's Pool) - The Boulders themselves are further upstream and quite safe for swimming.
Over to you TPC...
Cuppa
20th October 2016, 07:53 AM
Ha ha. The “not friendly to visitors” clue put me off track. I thought about Babinda, but discounted it as I thought of the place as being quite visitor friendly because they provide two free camps - we stayed in both - one close to the Boulders, & one off the highway close to town. The “came for a visit and stayed forever” applies to at least 17 visitors in the last 50 years to this place... went right over my head, but now I get it. :)

The ferries run backwards and forwards and are called (town name) upstream and (town name) downstream
they are cable ferries.
