Before leaving Mataranka we decided we needed one last swim and just down the road from the park is Bitter Springs...Max, Kev & I quickly donned the swimmers and once again thoroughly enjoyed the lovely water. We are now leaving the 'Top End' behind as we slowly wend our way south to Alice Springs for our next major stay. Our plan is to camp for two nights along the Stuart Hwy at two of the many roadside camps...the first being Warloch Ponds stopping just after lunch. Another candle light dinner was planned so the roast lamb was put in the webber early leaving the afternoon free for a game of Rummy O which was hotly contested. By the way the beer was not mine!!! Max was the winner but he was later disqualified as he received coaching from Lyn. Our roast with all the trimmings was delicious followed with marinated strawberries and ice-cream. It is quite extraordinary to think we can enjoy such a wonderful meal in the bush, no electricity, water or telephone service but with the modern vans today, we are certainly very spoilt.
