5 May Daly Waters to Mataranka Thermal Pools 6th. till the 9th. May 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At three way were we stopped for fuel we saw a road train tanker

the first of many to see I think. 

  5th.  May - We made our way to Daly Waters by 1.30.pm were there is an old Aussie pub.

  

Just had to show you the Daly water sign. 

It is in the back part of the pub they have - thongs hanging from the posts.

This our tour guide Ronnie we would be lost with out her. 

Inside the pub wow it has the lot. 

Around the bar are - cards that people have put there.

 Over the bar they have lots of - bra hanging
some of them have the owners names on them.

 On the other side we have - undies - we just hope they all clean when given.  

They also have - money nailed up hats and different coins. 

The bar were you can see the money pined up. 

A photo of Eddy the fellow that takes you to your camp site and makes shore you are ok.

 He is a scotch man and has the job of riding around on his bike with a

 stuffed horse hanging over the handle bars.

 We did not no if it was the horse or Eddy but he needed a shower. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We left the next day the( 6 May). staying till the 9th May.

As we were going to Mataranka the same day at.11.21.am  they have Thermal Pools here. 

On arriving we had two great caravan spots.  

Ronnie said come on get your swimming togs on and lets go.

Ready for our swim it is so lovely. Just walking through  the palms and so cool. 

Pat is carrying the heavy floties for Ronnie he is so kind. 

The water is a constant 34 Celsius and flows from under the earth just up the river a bit.

 The crystal clear mineral water flows out  at 30.5 million every day. 

  So just flouting is hard to to do as you are being taken down the pool with the current.

 But so hard to get out we stayed in for a long time. 

The next day we could not wait to go to the spring in the morning till lunch time.

 Then back again in the after noon. 

It was never crowded just a few people there.  Some had a talk to you but we had so much fun

This is a  photo I took a bit of a funny color but you can see how it is 

will put some more of us at the pool later 

thank you for looking 

by for now Maureen and Pat xx

To our little Riley family xxxx lots of love
