Mataranka and the Hot Springs.

We made our way up north to Mataranka from Daly Waters and stopped for a few days. We stayed out at Elsey National Park as it was cheap, we had a look at some hot springs and topped up the juice and groceries.

We ended up going to Bitter Springs to have a look as through the grape vine they were the best, we were not disappointed! It is some of the clearest water I have ever seen in a creek and it was 30 deg, beautiful!



We had a swim and tested the underwater capabilities of the digital camera. To say I was pensive when I dunked the thing was an understatement! In the end everything was all good and the camera survived. Here are some videos. Click on the links........

Underwater with the fishes.

As I mentioned before we had a good look around Mataranka and moved on, Katherine is our next stop.
