After Litchfield we stopped near Mataranka at a place called Bitter Springs - warm water (33 degrees) flowing out from underground, with several spots to access the water. Lovely! From there we drove to Tennant Creek where we once again caught up with Judy and Barb. After that it was a long drive with only roadhouses and homesteads until we crossed the Queensland border. Just in case you were wondering just how many grey nomads there are out there, a couple of photos taken at the remote Barkly Homestead should fill you in........ Caravans and motorhomes filling up with petrol, and queuing up to fill up with petrol. On some stretches of road, grey nomads make up about 80% of the traffic. The last picture is is taken at our lunch stop near Cloncurry.
