The Mataranka hotspring is the weirdest
little stream I have ever seen. The fresh warm water flows through the forest.
It is nice and warm, just a touch cooler than a nice hot bath, and very clear.
Frank takes us in his car, we are getting late because the sun is setting and soon
it will be dark in the forest, so no time to get our Toyota out of the trailer.
A quick dip is all we need to know we have to return to do it again the next
day. This time we check out, drive to the hotsprings with all our gear and
bring snorkeling stuff and our GoPro, floating devices and a plan: get in on
one side, let the current take us all the way to the other side and walk back
to the bus. Tim will have my flip-flops on his life vest for extra floating and
to spare my delicate feet on the little walk to come.
What a delightful morning we spend in the
water. Simply delicious.
For a truly Australian experience we stop at THE Dalywaters pub for lunch. They have a lot of quirky things in the pub like the largest thongs collection I have ever seen as well as 100's of number plates. They also feature the most remote traffic light in Australia. It is always on red so you have no choice but to stop for a rest. In true outback stile we have bacon and egg on Demper.
Somewhere along the road we pull of for the night and have another quintessential outback experience with food from the fire and setting sun sipping coffee.
