Kakadu


Just updated the blog with 4 posts and the internet is too slow to post here as well.

Am heading towards Mataranka with a view to fishing for Barramundi.

Steven is going his way and hitching back across to Derby with a view to travelling the Gibb River so again I am a solo traveller.

John

Hey, John, try Bitter Springs instead of Mataranka. It's a bit of a hidden treasure.

Hi John,

I'd be interested to hear how the baramundi fishing goes:  I'll be slowly working my way north from Alice and plan to go fishing. 

Happy travels, Anton

If the fishing fails, and it won't, you can always wallow in the hot spring, and then go to the shop and get a Mataranka Pie.
It's one of the biggest steak pies I've ever seen. In 2006 it cost $8, but it's the size of a saucer and a large dome of pastry over the top.
I expected a puddle of mince and gravy in the bottom, but I can tell you it was absolutely full to the pastry dome with chunks of steak. Very tender, tasty chunks of beef.
So if the fishing fails, shout yourself a Mataranka pie.
