Mataranka Thermal Pools are formed by the rain that falls over the 'Top End" where pressure forces the water to the surface in a continual flow.

The spring water rises from underground at 30.5 million litres per day, at a temperature of 34-35 degrees Celsius, and is then contained in a relaxing and beautiful swimming pool that is surrounded by a paperbark and palm forest.


The area around the pool is a natural breeding ground for the Little Red Flying Fox. The breeding season is traditionally in the wet season but often extends into the dry. During breeding season and whilst the babies are maturing Parks and Wildlife Rangers conduct afternoon guided walks.
