I have always wanted to swim in hot springs and I found I was not disappointed by the opportunity in Elsey National Park. I managed to convince some of my fellow travelers to join me. After a good while kayaking in the gorge with SandraLynn , . nfdarby, BlueMoon and {user:elusive4lyn, I convinced us to slip into the clean, clear... and warm water of the hot springs. it was heaven and great for the muscles we had used. I also got us walking and if we'd had more time, I would have loved to venture further and camp under the spectacular skies of this 'tropical outback'.
After days in the desert, this was a welcome oasis. I didn't even mind a bit more humidity.

I managed to source out the novel We of the Never Never by Jeannie Gunn (who published under her husband's name - Mrs. Aeneas Gunn). This is what down under Australia means to me.

Alternative option is to write about the average Australian cuisine. How does it differ from our norm.

Craggy rocks line the edge,
As Sweetwater Pool descends
crystal clear and refreshing
After a walk through brush
As dense and fierce as the people.
Take care, mystery bides in the crevices
And lurks in the dark
Beneath skies of starlit beauty.

Thoughts on Australian food... Kangaroo.
Most Australians take pride in the fact that they’re one of the few nations that eat their national animal. Imagine eating a Canadian Beaver.... no thank you. But apparently kangaroo meat is an excellent source of lean protein and it contains almost no saturated fat. Don’t expect to see kangaroo farms though, all meat is harvested from Australia’s thriving wild populations.
I'd try it to say I have... but I don't expect to be a fan.
