From Katherine we made a detour of about 100 km to Mataranka where they have some nice hot springs (they are fairly warm) where you can swim in. Our campsite was at the entrance of the national park and the hot spring was within 5 minutes walking distance. We took a swim in the afternoon and another one the next morning before breakfast. As it is still a bit cold in the morning the warm water was really pleasant.
In the late afternoon we went for a short bushwalk and we saw some wild pigs.
At night there was even some entertainment at the campsite’s bar area. At first a band was playing and later on they had some guy doing some tricks with his whips like imitating helicopter noise or whipping with the beat of an AC/DC song, was really cool.
