Although a small town with a population of only 384, Mataranka is a popular tourist location, notable for its natural mineral hot springs that can be used year-round!

It is also the setting for Jeannie Gunn’s classic Australian novel We of the Never-Never – a term used to describe the concept of hardship and loneliness in the outback.
