Well, we have landed on our feet here at Dalhousie Springs.
We got into our bathers and headed for the springs. We had been told about tiny Goby fish that lived in the water that nibbled at you if you kept still enough. The water was an amazing 35 degrees thereabouts. It is also larger than we expected, we're estimating 120m x 40metres. It was described as an upsidedown shower rose, water rises up from the artesian basin in eight different points.
We stayed in there for about an hour, there were pool noodles and an inner tube from a tractor to float around on. We had lunch and did very little else besides head back to the springs again. I wanted to visit the ruins just before sunset, but we'll do that tomorrow as we have decided to stay another night as it is so pleasant here.

Thanks for your comments Jeff, and yes, we have only had 12 drops of rain for the whole trip. I probably shouldn't mention that, might bring us some rain. Please keep on reading.
DeleteRosemary remembered the spring's well. Even though when we were there it was late at night and very misty.
