Roper Gulf is a region in the Northern Territory of Australia, known for its diverse landscapes and attractions. One of the most popular destinations in this area is Limmen National Park, which offers a range of activities for visitors, such as swimming, boating, bushwalking, fishing, camping, four-wheel driving, wildlife spotting, and visiting Aboriginal sites. The park features the spectacular Southern and Western Lost Cities, which are sandstone formations in the Abner Ranges. The Southern Lost City can be explored via a two-kilometer loop walk, while the Western Lost City is reached via a 28-kilometer 4WD track.
Other attractions in the Roper Gulf region include the Roper River, which begins its journey to the Gulf of Carpentaria in Elsey National Park, and the Thermal Pools in Roper Gulf. Visitors to Limmen National Park can access information, maps, and guidance at the Nathan River Ranger Station, where they can also obtain the code to visit the Western Lost City. The region is popular with anglers, birdwatchers, and those seeking remote camping experiences.
When visiting the Roper Gulf region, it is essential to be well-prepared, as there are limited services between Roper Bar Park and Store and Cape Crawford, a distance of 338km. Fuel and some supplies are available from the nearby Limmen Bight Fishing Camp, but visitors should ensure they have enough food, water, and fuel for their journey.
