Saturday 12th July.
Early down to the thermal pool this morning to beat the expected Saturday crowd. We met a delightful young girl from the Netherlands called Denique. She has been travelling around Australia for about the last 6 months, initially with a girlfriend for the first 5 months until her girlfriend had to return home. She decided to continue her working holiday alone and had purchased a fitted out Mitsubishi van from "The Travellers Auto Barn". This organisation prepares second hand vehicles, sells them and then re-purchases them at the end of the buyers travels in Australia. They apparently have a number of locations throughout the country so limited warranties are available at most of the capital cities as well as the larger locations such as Cairns, Alice Springs and Townsville. We also talked to several others while soaking away time in the pool.
We are hearing lots of very good reports about a great riverside camping area at Camooweal, so as we are going in that direction towards Mount Isa we plan to check it out and maybe spend some time there.
As we are departing here tomorrow we packed as much as we could in the evening to enable a relatively early departure in the morning. It has been a wonderful break here again at Mataranka.
