Tjuwaliyn (Douglas) Springs

Semi-developedSeasonalNot accessible

Tjuwaliyn (Douglas) Hot Springs protects a culturally sensitive section of the Douglas River on Wagiman Country, where thermal water bubbles into river pools. The park is currently closed while management arrangements and infrastructure upgrades are finalised, so it should be treated as a future-access listing rather than a current bathing destination.
