5 kilometers away from the thermal pool and a shorter walk through the bush to the far nicer 'Bitter Springs'.

Through the years we have camped and walked long distances along this river and stayed just about anywhere you are allowed to stay, both in and with the dog, on the edge of the National Park. I've spent weeks here in past years painting the falls and the tropical river, it's so beautiful here. Katherine is only 100 klm up the road, there are similar lovely areas there and fantastic shops, best value shopping between Adelaide and Darwin, or heading the way I'm going, I'll not see these prices until I reach Canarvon. I stock up here while things are cheap. Going to make an effort to release weight this week while I can buy fresh fruit and veggies that are half way affordable and I can indulge in big serves of filling low carb and healthy vegetables . I also plan in this week with very little driving involved to be very active, walking and swimming every chance I get. This is a week when I can make the effort count . Off for my swim in the Katherine Hot Springs, right now , it's just a pleasant walk along the banks of the Katherine River then down the hill to the natural hot springs, running stream. at the lower half of the stream there is a small waterfall and a natural spa pool at the base of it.
