G'Day. You're in the Never Never country now.

Welcome to the wonder world of the Roper River and the town of Mataranka. This is one of nature's special places, of clear bubbling springs and thermal pools, of long reaches of blue water and green pandanus, of outback characters and an untouched ecology.

You're in genuine frontier country here, a wilderness area untouched by development, a place to be close to the spirit of the country, a place you can't help but participate in a healthy lifestyle - a lifestyle close to nature.

The Mataranka area has much to offer the visitor. It is a rewarding place to spend a few days, a week, or as many have found - a lifetime.

Mataranka has much to interest all travellers. Pull up and look just past the bitumen, you'll find a world that has been forever hidden, a wonderful world of river and tree, of history and myth - a land of special magic.
