Day 14. Mataranka, N.T. 10.7.26

After a couple of loads of washing we wandered into Mataranka town.

A very cool van park pool.

We went for a drive out to Elsey Cemetery, original Homestead site and Elsey Creek bridge.

A dead tree being surrounded by a termite mound. 

Finally it was time for a float in the thermal pool. 

Rainbow Springs is where the water comes from to feed the thermal pools.

A couple of spiders enjoying the warmth rising from the pool.

A couple of visitors while we had a pre dinner drink. 

We watched the amazing whip cracking show tonight.

I used AI to remove the heads of the people sitting in front of us.

Solar powered lights in the whip.

Cracking whips on fire.

We finished the night with a cup of tea and a game of phase 10.

Today's temperature range was 13-30°.
