Overview

Mataranka offers a relaxed out‑back lifestyle framed by the Roper River and the famous Mataranka Hot Springs, where residents and visitors alike can unwind in natural thermal waters. A reconstructed homestead, linked to Jeannie Gunn’s 1902 memoir We of the Never Never, sits beside the springs, providing a historic touchpoint for cultural tourism. The town also hosts the Mataranka Station of the Katherine Rural College, extending educational opportunities within the community.

Transport today is anchored by the standard‑gauge railway that runs about 20 km west of the settlement, a modern successor to the original narrow‑gauge line that served the area until 1976. Housing blends heritage cottages near the hot springs with a range of contemporary family homes throughout the town, catering to both long‑term locals and short‑term visitors.
