After leaving Katherine, we drove about one hundred kilometres south to Mataranka, a place of thermal springs.
The caravan park we booked into for the night is a short walk from Bitter Springs, a comfortable thirty four degrees Celsius thermal pool in the Elsey National Park. 

Here's Honey Pie having a dip at Bitter Springs Thermal Pool, Mataranka, which we visited before dinner.
