Mataranka Thermal Springs

We have all been hanging to get to this spot! It feels so good to be finally swimming again, and in pristine, clear, warm water, just perfection.

To say we have soaked the red dust off would be a lie, as the minute you get out of the pools, it is back between your toes 😂😂, but we sure are feeling clean from spending hours upon hours soaking in the thermal pools each day.

Lachlan said he never wants to leave, he is enjoying the swimming so much and we are finally at a place where there are some other kids to play with, so the boys are having a ball and lots of late nights.

And, after a long year of waiting the boys ( and grown ups) got to meet and watch the Nathan “Whippy” Griggs show. It was fantastic, he had us laughing at his joke and our jaws dropping at the way he could use his whips. The boys were hooked, they bought themselves a whip with money they had saved from their birthdays and have not stopped cracking them. They have blisters on their hands. Unfortunately, the weather turned rainy,
so we didn’t make it to the show again the next night.

We spent some time reminiscing about the time mum and dad spent 4 months working here when they travelled 40 years ago. They had signs up in the park saying ‘work available’ and their old jobs were free, but they were not keen this time around to work, I don’t know why 🤷‍♀️😂.Read more
