A really big day on the road today....150 ks before we pulled into Mataranka, calling on the way to see the historic airport (photo), then after a light lunch we headed for the thermal pools at the homestead surrounded by a tropical oasis. It is truly a magical experience to swim in this beautiful water that apparently has its source in New Guinea going underground for most of the way.
Pulling up early allows the designated cook time to prepare the dish of the evening....today Pedro pulled out the camp oven and cooked his Pedro Special Stew. Once again the plates were scraped clean....testament to the tasty dish. We then enjoyed my Impossible Lemon Pudding.
We were lucky enough to have a beautiful male peacock and hens visit us for dinner followed by several little wallabies. Hoping we will have time for another swim before heading off to Katherine staying at the Low Level Caravan Park where hopefully Kev will continue to arrange the campsite as he so successfully did here!!!!!his only contribution being a one handed pull of the table throught the dirt. Karen was most impressed.
Hi Faye and Max
ReplyDeleteGuess you are moving on to Katherine after your stay at Mataranka. The thermal pools sound wonderful and as you say magical. Gee I wish I was there for the food alone, sounds very gourmet. Oh well, back to work I guess.
