Mataranka & Bitter Springs | Elsey National Park - Exploring the Never Never
Imagine finding paradise in the middle of the Australian Outback? That is exactly what we have done this week! Come with us to explore Mataranka and Bitter Springs in Elsey National Park, and uncover some of Australia's most beautiful history!
Hey guys!
Happy Wednesday, and I hope you are all ready from some more beautiful swimming holes and great Australian history!
This week we are in Elsey National Park, camping at Mataranka and checking out Bitter Springs and the Elsey cemetery and homestead.
Mataranka hot spring is a GLORIOUS natural hot spring that runs along the Roper River, just outside of Mataranka township. These hot springs are a comfy 34 degrees all year and are such a beautiful place to swim all day long.
Bitter Springs is a flowing spring located just north of the Mataranka township and is becoming very popular over time! This hot spring is slightly warmer than Mataranka hot spring and has a natural current and convenient entry and exit points so you can float along the river to your hearts content all day long!
Mataranka and Bitter Spring waters are believe to have some important healing powers and soaking in these waters are said to heal aches and pains! We certainly were feeling zero pain floating our troubles away for a few days
We also check out Elsey homestead, cemetery and learn about the fancinating lives of Jeannie Gunn, the first white woman to settle in the area, and her husband Aeneas Gunn who ran the Elsey Cattle Station. It is a beautiful story and well worth the read!

AT MATARANKA SPRINGS, TRAVELLERS run the gauntlet of little red flying-fox poo to reach translucent pools of clear, limey spring water that simmer at around 34ºC.
Few can resist a warm soak after tough travels on the Stuart Highway, especially since the pools are located right on Highway One at Mataranka, 105km south of Katherine in the Northern Territory.
Protected as part of Elsey National Park, Mataranka Springs is a dynamic spot that provides habitat for a colony of little red flying-foxes that at times number up to 250,000.
The little reds stake out the sagging canopy of the world's largest stand of Livistona rigida palms, and spectacularly fill the skies at sunset as they take off in search of food.
Less than 100m from the hot pools where the spring empties into Waterhouse Creek, freshwater crocodiles are often spotted swimming and basking on sunny logs.
Popular with travellers, Mataranka Springs lies a short walk from the campground at Mataranka Homestead which many use as a base while exploring other sites in Elsey National Park.
These include Bitter Springs, a few kilometres to the north where you can don a snorkel, slide into the water and float downstream in the current to check out turtles, fish and slimy green algae.
Both hot springs provide wonderfully warm, good fun and a place to safely swim on the journey north to Darwin. SUBSCRIBE: The official channel of Australian Geographic magazine.
