Today it was a quick drive north of approximately 80 K’s to Mataranka. A lot of van parks are not taking bookings, you have to get in early or miss out, so it was up early at Gorrie and get going so we could get into the Bitter Springs van park. We certainly beat the traffic as we were well and truly set up and relaxing as the hordes began to arrive, by 3 o’clock it was basically full.

We did a quick trip to the Mataranka Thermal pool and hope to have a dip there tomorrow, also we ventured down into the Bitter Springs and joined the many other holidaymakers in the water. Hopefully the high water temp keeps the COVID bug at bay!
