Bitter Springs
Bitter Springs is a natural thermal spring located in Elsey National Park near Mataranka in the Northern Territory, about 420 kilometres southeast of Darwin. The spring feeds a series of clear, warm pools fringed by palm and paperbark forest, maintaining a temperature around 34 degrees Celsius year-round. Managed by Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory, it is notable for its crystal-clear water, gentle current for floating, and accessibility within the national park.
