In the morning we went for a walk. We walked to the Mataranka falls! They were lovely. We just put our feet in a little pool in the falls. Around this area there are lots of giant termite mounds, there was a big one on the walk. The whole walk took about 3 1/2 hours. It was getting really hot towards the end!! (the temperature has reached low thirties! We heard its rather cold down south!) Just at the end of the walk we stopped at a place where we could swim out to a pontoon in the Roper River. It was quite cold water but it was fun! We then went for a little swim at the Mataranka thermal pool. Some people told us that they had just seen a snake in the water! We didn’t actually see it, but mum got out pretty quick. We decided to go back to Bitter Springs, we really like Bitter Springs. For dinner we had roast chicken in the camp oven. It was really yummy! We sat by the fire talking to some other people from the caravan park for quite a while.
