Mataranka is small township in the Northern Territory about 106 km south-east of Katherine along the Stuart Highway.
Natural thermal pools in nearby Elsey National Park have made the town a favoured rest stop. Travellers can enjoy the warm turquoise waters of these natural lagoons.
Bitter Springs is a fantastically crystal clear, warm and natural spring. The river banks are lined with grasses and trees, spider webs and bird-life. You can swim 120 metres up stream past long rushes or float down the current on your back to watch rainbow bee-eaters fly, feed and perch in the tree-tops. There is a pleasant 1.5 km loop walk around the river area with interpretative signs explaining vegetation and the origins of the spring.
The resident Little Red Flying Fox colony are intriguing to watch, particularly at dusk when the group leaves en masse to search for food.
