Bitter springs, Mataranka.

Wow, if I could have any sort of swimming pool in my backyard, Bitter Springs would be the one!

Imagine, warm 34 degrees in the water, surrounded by lush pandanus palms and tea tree. Sparkling clear waters and a gentle flowing current. This place was magic!

We entered the main pool then drifted down stream for about 150 metres, climbed out, walked down the rainforest track, to do the whole thing again.




Master B is still declaring Bitter Springs as his number one swimming spot so far!

Big Boy took this photo of Mr M blowing underwater bubbles, yes with his mouth people!

We also ventured into the Homestead thermal pool and checked out the tortioses swimming in the river by torchlight. The children swore they saw a crocs eyes in the night river!

We also checked out the replica Homestead made for the filming of "We of the Never Never" the story of Jeanne Gunn raising her family in the Never Never bushland.
