DALY WATERS & MATARANKA - 15th July


DALY WATERS & MATARANKA

Despite Brad and I having a little hangover, we got up early to race the grey nomads again to get a powered site at the Daly Waters Pub.  Brad was really looking forward to this stop.  And rightly so, it was a great spot.  The pub is so very quirky, staff were excellent and the place was set up well.


Again the girls nagged us about going for a swim so we gave in and let them work off some energy.

That afternoon we relaxed at the pub for happy hour and entertained and had booked in for the Beef n’ Barra set menu.  Good feed!  Absolutely recommend a stopover there.







As the next stop was only 150kms up the road, we took our time in the morning, and enjoyed breakfast rather than shovelling it down.  On the drive we stopped in at the Daly Waters Aerodome which was used in WWII (which is why the pub is there).  Brad gave the girls another history lesson.

We decided to stay at the National Park in Mataranka.  One set up we popped on our bathers and went to the Thermal Springs.  The water was lovely and warm.  Brad described it as Grey Nomad Stew, there was even a couple of mobility scooters there.  It was like a scene from the movie Cocoon  LOL

We headed back to camp and the girls happily played in the bush next to the van and then wrote in their diaries.
