Mataranka - Alice Springs

06 December 2012
We left Katherine and arrived at Mataranka where we stayed at Territory Manor. They have Barramundi in a small dam which they feed twice a day, so I was lucky enough to feed a couple.

quick to get their food

We then headed off to  Bitter Springs and had a little swim. It was quite deep with a strong current so the kids had to be held in our arms. Luckily there were a few rocks to stand on. We were advised not to go to Mataranka Springs due to the large number of bats living there. We went for a drive around the country side but that was about all we did.

smelt a little bad but the water is clear

A big day in the car driving, made it all the way to a free stop North of the Three Ways. Out with the generator to run the air con. It's quite hot. Oh, and we did pull into the Daly Waters Pub for a feed and a beer. Interesting place!!!

here's a way to display your bottles Dad!

Another big day in the car until we reached Alice Springs. We did make a stop along the way at the Devil's Marbles (quite spectacular).
