2 June - An early start then off to the UFO display at
Wycliff Wells (interesting??), then Devils Marbles, followed by Renner Springs
for lunch with a peacock minus his tail who was after our sandwiches. Eventually
arrived at Daly Waters for a pre drinks dip in the pool. The pub had happy hour
(Red Monaro’s for the girls) & ‘entertainment’. Had dinner in the camp
ground where we could easily hear the entertainers.
3 June – Off to Mataranka. Set up camp in the lovely Elsey
National Park, our first true bush camp. Had a great walk along the Roper River
to the Mataranka waterfalls followed by a dip & ‘spa’ in the small
tributary (no swimming in the Roper River due to croc’s). We then headed off
for a soak in the thermal pools before dinner accompanied by red, white &
beer. All slept well apart from the noisy donkeys & early morning birds
& bees (there were thousands on the flowering wattles next to the tent).

4 June – Started the day with a dip in the thermal Bitter
Springs pools – quite different to the Mataranka pools. We then bid adieu to
Ross & Rose before heading to Katherine to restock the fridge & then
off to Victoria River. The scenery here is just like the brochures – red
cliffs, green trees & a wide river. Multiple parrots, kites, honeyeaters,
cockies, galahs etc.
