MATARANKA SPRINGS What a pretty spot, it is like a tropical oasis with
lot's of palms. The water in the swimming holes is around 34 degrees, just lovely. Down at the river we have seen our first crocodile warning signs, don't think we will be dipping our toes in. Since leaving
Tennant Creek the days have really warmed up, so nice to have some summer clothes on and
to pack away the winter jackets. After driving through arid land it is nice to have the green vegetation,
lot's of termite nests, they look like headstones in a graveyard. Yesterday between
Daly Waters and
Mataranka there was a lot of road kill therefore
lot's of eagles - the circle of life.

DALY WATERS HOTEL Wednesday night we parked up at the caravan grounds at
the side of the hotel. What a unique place, the pub dates back to 1930, it is 3
km's off the main highway but gets packed as really famous for all the 'stuff' on the walls etc and outside. They have a
bbq dinner at night with entertainment. Both a little fuzzy yesterday morning. Quite away along the Stuart Highway there have been airfields and other stuff that was in use during the Second World War.

OUTSIDE THE PUB The graves are of people who didn't make a donation after taking photos.

chickens on the hat.

Did you see the road to Bitter Springs on the Darwin side of Mataranka? We spent 4 nights there and many hours in the springs just drifting down the creek, snorkelling and marvelling at the underwater garden. Well worth a visit if you get back that way (and less touristy than Mataranks).
