Another easy day with a late sleep in. After all we are not moving on today. It was another day of soaking both here at Mataranka Thermal Springs and up the road at Bitter Springs.
There was a geocache I had trying to get for a number of years which was somewhere in a whole lot of 44 gallon drums that have been rotting out in the scrub since World War 2. Garry had found it a week ago by pure luck so we headed out to find it again. With Garry playing hotter and colder I eventually found it and that’s another nemesis cache off the list.
After picking up the girls from the caravan park, we headed north to Bitter Springs, noodles and wet shoes in hand for several hours of floating down the springs, walking back up and floating some more. It is a little different to the Rainbow Pool at Mataranka Springs but relaxing all the same.
It cant go on for ever, so back to the vans for some afternoon tea before going down for another soak in the thermal pool until dusk.
The band that didn’t show last night started playing as we were having tea and we were in no rush to head down to watch them. They were killing a lot of popular songs.
We were happy to head down to the homestead at 9pm for the whip cracking show by Nathan Griggs. Even though we saw it last night, it was worth a second look. It seems that he is doing his show every night now at Mataranka so will get to see it again in a week.
If we get up early enough in the morning, should get one more soak in before the big push through to Darwin.
