💦IVANHOE CROSSING | MATARANKA & BITTER SPRINGS | NATHAN WHIPPY GRIGGS

💦 Water crossings, thermal springs & whip cracking fun as we say see ya later to WA and hello to the NT. This is one of our most fun episodes yet!
We leave El Questro and make our way to Kununurra where we show you the famous Ivanhoe Crossing. And even I tow the van across - twice! We pull up for the night in Gregory National Park before topping up with groceries in Katherine and arrive at our destination - Mataranka Homestead where we explore both the Mataranka & Bitter Thermal Springs and take in Nathan Whippy Griggs final show of the season. This is our very last piece of WA content!

[@smokehuntersbbqteam3510]

Did all of these points on our way to working in WA. Agree that Bitter Springs was better. Nathan's show is awesome and I got to be in the show as he stood right behind me and cracked whips around me. Was an amazing experience.

[@AussieDestinationsUnknown]

Oh wow!! That would have been amazing! 🤗 Thanks so much for commenting. We really appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@dazza152]

[@AussieDestinationsUnknown]

😂

[@aladslife7963]

Attract more patrons, promote 'No More Stickers /Decals on National road signs' when travelling.👍

[@AussieDestinationsUnknown]

Good idea!

[@carladalton6220]

This was such a great episode!! Did you see any crocs at the Ivanhoe Crossing??? I loved Mataranka when we visited over 20 years ago. At the time we didn't even know Bitter Springs existed. Have heard so much about it and your footage was stunning. Looking forward to seeing it next time we're out that way 😀

[@AussieDestinationsUnknown]

Thanks…no, we didn’t see any. Bitter springs is amazeballs!!

[@davidmilledge221]

Dosnt that rd crossing get slimy and slippery with water flowing over it , I bet you need 4x4 locked in when going over it 😮

[@AussieDestinationsUnknown]

It’s flowing, not stagnant so it isn’t slippery - well, it didn’t feel slippery for us! 😅

[@roypowell3450]

Brilliant viewing as ever. Now Mim, Cheryl would like to know where you purchased your dungaree/shorts from? Take care and thank you as always...x

[@AussieDestinationsUnknown]

Do you mean my jump/playsuit? If so, that was from Jay Jays 2 years ago 🤗

[@roypowell3450]

Great thank you very much! @@AussieDestinationsUnknown 😘

[@linkcadence4906]

Why does there always seem to be a negative comment about visiting Victoria?

[@AussieDestinationsUnknown]

Haha - because Chris doesn’t like it there at all lol (Melbourne in particular) 😂 Turns out it’s not an uncommon opinion either! If you’d followed our stories on our socials as we went down - you’d have seen why 🥶 🌧️ 💨😆

[@-sandman4605]

@@AussieDestinationsUnknown 🤣

[@exploremoorelife]

We are not to interested In Victoria either, it's personal choice, not to many people move south they all move north 😉 guessing they don't like it either 😂

[@margaretronald5699]

Whats with the friggin victoria, you just lost me.

[@AussieDestinationsUnknown]

Good bye

[@AussieDestinationsUnknown]

Melbourne specifically. Unfollow if you want - but isn’t that petty? Unfollowing because of a difference of opinion. Man. You must have a boring life if you only spend time with people who agree with you. We don’t like Melbourne. Nothing wrong with that. Most of the people we know don’t like it either - even those who live there! 😂

[@donnamerigan469]

I don't like Melbourne either and I work there, I live as far away from it as I can! But the rest of Victoria is Cool
