I was hoping someone would say that they were gone from the area!!
What a waste of a australian tourist destination. Everyone you speak too say that they are heading there, Just to visit a smelly stinking mess.I've been looking forward to seeing the pools for about 10 years .
What a waste!!!!!

Try Bitter Springs (turn off is north of the other springs). No bats, less people. There is a caravan park within walking distance I think it is Mataranka Cabins.

My daughter visited Mataranka in April 2005. The fruit bats are now gone.
Without the bats the Thermal Spring is a great place to visit.
Life's great and it just keeps getting better
