Day 47 Elsey National Park– Jalmaranka – overcast 30

Bitter Springs was gorgeous and a lot more in the wilderness than the Homestead pools, a natural lagoon. Paige snorkelled for the first time, she did so well and loved it. Levi took one look and went on trying to jump in the water, he didn’t get the hang of the mask.
In the arvo we decided we needed some exercise and did the Botanical walk 1.5km and then back to the Homestead for a swim and something to eat.
The sap from the Bloodwood mixed with water is a highly concentrated antiseptic, which we have been collecting. You can use it for eczema and dermatitis.
