A popular tourist spot
It was Second World War soldiers who found the hot springs that flow here, and they planted the palm trees and developed the site for an R&R spot. However, it didn't last long: when officers found the soldiers' discovery, they moved them to a more remote headquarters, and the thermal baths became reserved for officers only. Today, Mataranka, located in Elsey National Park, is a very popular tourist resort. A campsite close to the springs welcomes visitors, who have the chance to rent canoes to navigate the river.
