Friday 23rd May.
On the road by 8:30am today, first stop after 80kms to refuel at Dunmarra where we received a 10cent discount per litre off the regular diesel price of $1.95, simply by having a seniors card.
Next stop was at the Daly Waters HiWay Inn, a typical "roadhouse" that is the norm in remote locations. This stop was simply to check out this relatively new facility as we had not been there before. We gave the historic Daly Waters Pub a miss this time as we have been there several times before.
From Daly Waters it is about 220 kms to Mataranka and the warm thermal pools where we intend to stay for a number of days and soak up the great warm water of the thermal pools. This should do wonders for Gail's back.
Arrived at Mataranka around 3pm, a short visit to the supermarket before driving the 7km out to the Homestead Tourist Park where one lot of the thermal pools are located. We have booked in to a powered site here for three nights initially and will decide on Monday whether we have had enough to move on to Katherine. A slightly bigger travel day today - 303km.
