Mataranka and Bitter Springs Thermal pools

Our aim was to make Mataranka and check out the pools. I have been hearing about these pools for years and Warren did visit there many years ago.

There are three caravan parks Bitter Springs Mataranka Homestead and the Territory manor, someone had recommended the Manor to us so we went there. It was pretty good and at $30 a night far better price than we had been paying.

A nice walk to the entrance
Bitter Springs is a natural pond with very clear water (although  the bottom was very mucky), I should have taken a noodle. The water slowly takes one down to the next part and there are steps to get out a d walk back about 100 metres.

After being here we then went to the other thermal pool which has been concreted and had seats to sit on in the water, it was about 12 kms through town.
I found it a bit hot to stay in too long at a time, and preferred sitting on the seats with just waist down in the water, very shaded, we were here about 5 pm.
