    Mataranka Springs to Katherine Gorge

    May 14, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    After breakfast we toddled down to the Thermal Springs at the Homestead caravan park. Packed up and went up the road to Bitter Springs and floated down with the current in those springs. Both lovely places with clear 35 degree water. Drove to Cutta Cutta caves for an hour tour. When an aboriginal word is used twice in a name in gives it double the importance. Cutta Cutta means many stars. The bats take out the sparkly starry sheen off the wet limestone formations which is spread across the sky to make the stars, then bringing them back with them in the morning.
    We watched the rabbitohs snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat. They played a woeful second half.
    We picked up some supplies and headed out to Katherine Gorge camp-site and missed out on a powered site. Won't listen to advice from travellers again. Also missed out on tomorrows 9am 3 Gorge tour. More great advice. We have Monday booked unless a cancellation comes up.
    Great day!
