Lost City
The local Aboriginal people regarded the Lost City as sacred place and in the past, held circmucision ceremonies there. The healing properties of two nearby trees are evidence of this. The green plum is an anaesthetic tree, used for everything from toothache to stomach ulcers, and the snotty gobble, also an anaesthetic tree, grows near the green plum and they formed a most useful combination for curing ailments.

Poppy's Pools
These thermal pools are situated 70 kilometers from Cape Crawford on Bauhinia Downs Station, traditionally owned by Harry Lansen from the Gudanji tribe. The hot spring water rises under pressure from a large aquifer system 5-7 km's deep in the earths crust. It emerges to the surface through permeable faulted sandstone rock of the Roper Group, where it cools as it moves downstream and mixes with the water from the cool spring.
