Getting There: The Heartbreak Hotel ( also known as Cape Crawford) is located 275km from the Stuart Highway and 106km south- west of Borroloola at the intersection of the Carpentaria and Tablelands Highways.

Accommodation/ Camping: Accommodation consists of 30 air- conditioned hotel rooms ( with optional fridges for keeping your beverages ice cold) in addition to powered sites for caravans and campervans set amidst well kept lawns and shady trees. Other facilities include a restaurant, laundry, ice, bottled gas refills and a service station come general store. Helicopter Flights: The Heartbreak Hotel operates helicopter flights to the Lost City, and it takes around 10 minutes to reach the columns, flying over the Abner Ranges on the way. The landing point in a natural amphitheatre is spectacular, where you then walk around the more eroded part of the city. You then enter a cave that goes right through the rock, to emerge on higher ground offering excellent views. Further Information: www. heartbreakhotel. com. au
