15 - 16 May 2016 - Days 43 - 44 - Douglas Hot Springs

After doing the Edith Falls loop walk we visited the Douglas Hot Springs.

We had our first little river crossing to get into the hot springs.


This is my favourite place so far.  It was absolutely beautiful.

There was no power or water to plug the van into and only 1 basic toilet, so it was roughing it in the heat but it was really getting back to nature.

In the morning the steam rises off the hot water (which is approx. 50' in the hottest section) and it almost looks a little spooky.  We lay around in the water for 2 days and relaxed.  The boys caught up on some school work and rode their bikes.




The area was home to lots of eagles and the boys were throwing pieces of bread into the sky and the eagles were catching it.

We had a bit of luck with our prawn pot and we caught 6 cheruben.


At night we would have a campfire and in the morning we had damper for breakfast.
AWESOME!!!
