On my way down from Darwin to Alice Springs I somethimes see signs directing to touristic worthwhile places. A lot of them are in memory of WWII, there are a lot more places of rememberance over here than in Belgium.
When I read "thermal pool" I could not resist. It is quite warm, about 35 degrees *C, and I am in no rush so...
Only 2kms from the Stuart Hwy there is the Elsey National Park.
You get to the park via a camper area. The Jalmurak camping area, number 89 in Camps 7.
This time of year, summer, and the wet season around the corner, it was very peaceful and just a few families and couples staying there.
Only the thermal pool was okay to swim in, the Waterhouse river not, the chance of a saltwater croc to have gotten into the river was by now to big.
The freshwater crocs are as the sign said harmless.
The Waterhouse river, no crocs to be spotted but they are good at hiding...
The thermal pool with around it the forest. I spotted a group of wild boar, three wallabies and lots of red foxes (bats) who got disturbed by giant water sprinklers.
The water was nice and warm, about 30*C.
