Daly Waters to Katherine drive: Mataranka attractions

The best stop along the Daly Waters to Katherine drive, however, is Mataranka. The Mataranka Roadhouse isn’t quite as much fun as the previous roadhouses, but it is the gateway to the Mataranka Thermal Pool next to the Mataranka Homestead.

If you’ve got time to spare before heading through to Katherine, you can also enjoy Elsey National Park and Mataranka Falls.
