We left Tenant Creek heading for Katherine on Good Friday. Our first stop was the Daly Waters Pub which was licensed in 1938 to service passengers and crew from the nearby airfield and in early WW11 became very important with the Raaf setting up headquarters here. This pub has an amazing amount of memoribilia on its walls such as bras, business cards, currency from all over the world. Camping and accommodation id available here.
Our next stop was Larrimah for lunch at the Pink Panther Pub. This hotel was originally the RAAF Officers Mess during WW11.
Mataranka Thermal Springs was our next stop. This area was made famous by the movie "We of the Never Never" with the homestead being a replica of that in the movie. Mataranka has a population of about 250 people. The RAAF were stationed here during WW11.
