Day 36. Bitter Springs. 8.8.23

 Temperature was cooler overnight, 14.7°. After doing the washing we went for a stroll around the caravan park. 




This guy came to have breakfast with me. 


Today we explored the Elsey Cemetery, about 20kms from Mataranka. 











The old Elsey Homestead site.

Billabong beside the Homestead site.
Looks like a good spot for crocodiles. 

Birds eye view for a photo.
The Homestead was demolished to make way for a road which is no longer used.
Next stop was Mataranka town for a wander and coffee. 
200 species of termites in Australia, who knew that 🤷‍♀️🤔
All that is left of the Mataranka railway station. 
Huge strangler tree appears to be strangling itself. 


On to the thermal pool for a soak.





Look at what I have to work with 🤣 very entertaining. 











Afternoon swim at Bitter Springs. Of the 2 I preferred Mataranka as the water was a little warmer and cleaner. The temperature got to 31.6°
Today we drove 64kms.
