Mataranka

April – May 2025

Spent 5/6 weeks at Mataranka house sitting Nathan & Emma’s place (Nathan the whip cracker)- 5 acres, 7 horses, 4 cows, 20 odd chooks, not a bad place, could be really nice but we enjoyed our time there.

Chris & Di Robbo from Kununurra came for an o/nite visit, we drove out to the hot springs for a look then stopped along the way back on the Roper river a few times & tried our luck fishing-no joy, but Di & I had a nice paddle. We drove to Katherine the next day & checked out the Katherine hot springs – very surprising, they are quite lovely, was nice spending time with great mates.
