Hot Springs. Need I say more. I am sure I can entice a few weary travelers to spend the day hanging out in warm water, particularly after days of heat and desert.

Who wouldn't want to hang out at a place "renowned for its sandy-bottomed thermal pool".

Just being in Elsey National Park was so refreshing. The Roper River meanders through this picturesque national park.

Several of us took the Botanic Walk which was a pretty easy 1.5 kilometre loop. The park has diverse plant species. We also enjoyed the eight kilometre Riverside Walk to Korowan / Mataranka Falls. Such a beauty. It was great to get out and move after all the sitting around on the train.

Swimming is only recommended at the thermal pools. Mataranka Thermal Pool is a well-known feature of the Park. Rainbow Spring rises from underground at 300 litres per second at a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, which is then contained in a swimming pool. Also within the park, Bitter Springs is surrounded by ancient rainforest - the famous 'float down' is not to be missed.

By the time we got back to the train for dinner I was only to happy to put my feet up and enjoy a glass of wine and a nutritious dinner. I was famished.
