Elsey National Park 4.3 (reviews)

Did you know that Elsey National Park was made famous in Jeannie Gunn's novel "We of the Never Never"? Well, now you do! Elsey National Park is 13,800 hectares and filled with outdoor adventures, wildlife and even history. A great family day out!

For those kids who love to learn, they can soak up the Aboriginal and World War II history. For those kids who love to explore, there is fishing and boating available too!

Elsey National Park is a place where you could easily stay a few days, because there are so many natural features to see and soak in.

Bitter Springs is a great spot, which can be found in the northern end of the park.

The Rainbow Springs and Thermal Pool sector of Elsey National Park are a major attraction for visitors and a constant source of astonishment for children. 

The spring water rising from underground at 30.5 million litres per day and at a natural temperature of 34C is then contained in a relaxing swimming pool surrounded by a palm forest. Perfect for a surreal family swim!

Fancy getting out into nature using those feet of tours?

A 1 and a half km Botanical Walk is located along John Hauser Drive access road. There is also a 4km walk to Mataranka Falls that starts at the 12 Mile Yards. Various day use areas are connected by short riverside walks, and a short loop walk is also available at Bitter Springs!

Camping is also available, so why not just treat yourself to some Australian natural beauty, and keep your eyes peeled for the wildlife!
