		So I left Katherine and said goodbye to Ted and Gill, but I didn't get very far: just over 100km south of Katherine I turned off the highway to Elsey National Park, home to the Mataranka Homestead and some thermal springs, and I fell in love with the place.

		The thermal pool, actually in Elsey National Park, but seemingly part of the resort, is the main attraction – it’s free, always open, and the water is a pleasant 34°C. A soak in the palm-shaded, pale blue water is divine, with early mornings or candlelit night-time dips less crowded.
		South of town the Elsey National Park leads to the often-overlooked freshwater wetlands of the Roper River.
		A twelve-kilometre road into ELSEY NATIONAL PARK (turn off just before the Mataranka Homestead) leads to a more secluded campsite with less of a holiday-camp atmosphere, offering canoe rental and swimming in the (almost croc-free) upper Roper River, as well as a small kiosk.
