Savannah Way

Monday - left Katherine this morning and headed south towards the Daly Waters turnoff onto the Carpenreria Highway. On the way we stopped of at Bitter Springs thermal pool at Mataranka. Bitter Springs thermal pool is 3km out of Mataranka, it is a spring fed thermal pool set among palms and tropical woodland, the pool is crystal clear and a constant 34 degrees, it was a refreshing break in the middle of the day.

We then continued down the Stuart highway to the iconic Daly Waters pub, the pub was established in 1924 and has been operating ever since, even during WWII. We arrived after 2 so we missed out on lunch so we had to settle just for a beer. The pub is renound for two things, it's Steak & Barra dinner and the internal decor, the caravan park adjacent to the pub was packed with people staying for the dinner meal. The internal decor is different, if you wish to leave a souvenir it costs you $1 and all money raised goes to the Variety Club.

Across the road is a unique souvenir shop. 

We then continued onto the Bullawaddy rest area for the night, there are about 8 campers here tonight.
