Mataranka, NT

106 kms - Next stop.... Mataranka Homestead in the Elsey National Park. What a popular spot. We arrived at 9:30am and already there was a line up of 9 vans awaiting check in! Once set up we headed for a swim at Bitter Springs. The water was beautiful and warm and current allowed you to get in one end and float to the other! So relaxing. In the afternoon we headed for a dip at the Materanka Hot Springs, again it was beautiful and relaxing but we did both prefer Bitter Springs as it seemed more ‘natural’.
We ended the day with dinner and entertainment by ‘The Repeat Offenders’ and got to see 5 world record holder in whip cracking, Nathan Whippy Griggs in action.... wow!Les mer
