Mataranka 23-24 July

Arrived at Mataranka and headed for the Elsey National Park camping area.  I thought I had researched the park well and was looking for the spots to camp on the river.  However, as nice as the campground was with large shaded sites, there was no riverside camping.  Determined to find water I was back on the internet again and found the riverside camping was at Bitter Springs Cabin and Camping.  There is only 3 sites on the river all unpowered and were lucky to get the last one.  A difficult small site to set up on but just right for a camper like Alice.

The bonus of this camp was the easy 500mtrs walk to the Bitter Springs Hot pools.

Bitter Springs





The Springs a constant 33 degrees all year round and very busy all day long.   Whilst lots of people floated down on their noodles, we were having too much fun trying to stay afloat and work out the Go-Pro.
