Elsey is a National Park east of Mataranka and 380 Kms south of Darwin. Mataranka is the home of the Mataranka Falls and the Mataranka Thermal Pools, which are home to a well known colony of the little red fruit-bat. We take advantage of the thermal pools for a dip in bath-temperature and beautifully clear water. The hot springs generate over 30 million litres of fresh water every day.
