Mataranka












ur first overnight stop after leaving Darwin was about 400km south at the tiny town of Mataranka. The area is famous for its thermal springs which are not so refreshing at 34 degrees celsius. We took a dip in the Bitter Springs which were absolutely beautiful. At our campground the Barra-man told us all about the life-cycle of the Barramundi and heaved one out of the water to give us a really good look (which apparently the Barramundi enjoys). Ashleigh had a go at feeding the huge fish and was nearly pulled into their murky pond. Mataranka is where Hannah designed some new rock earrings that are sure to be the next essential fashion accessory. Send us your orders!
