After Kakadu, there’s really only one way to go and that’s through one of my favourite places – the wonderful Mataranka.
Do we all remember reading Jeannie Gunn’s novel in high school?
Stayed at The Homestead CP this time. Kirsty and I had a very enjoyable stay here previously on our way to the Kimberly a few years ago.
It’s a bush camp. Lots of wild animals and birds
And an easy walk down to swim in the springs.
And past the beautiful Rainbow Pool
Plus, at night there’s a cafe and entertainment around the fire.
Had dinner with a group of “older” bikers from Townsville who were going to Darwin then down to Adelaide and back to Townsville. Averaging 750ks per day. Really? Why bother? They told me they stop about every 1.5 hours cos of “numb bums”. Yeah, great way to travel.
