agree  Tal Anja Cohen: ja - zumal in den meisten Beiträgen (Tourismus) zu Mataranka nur auf den natürlichen "Pool", nicht aber spezifisch auf dessen Bodenbeschaffenheit hingewiesen wird.

Explanation:
Wenn meine Recherche zutrifft, müsste es sich bei den berühmten "thermal pools" von Mataranka um natürliche Thermalquellen handeln, deren Grund wohl aus Sand besteht, im Gegensatz zu Thermalquellen mit Steinboden.
Thermalquellen mit Sandboden (?)

Example sentence(s):
  • Mataranka is located on the Stuart Highway, 107 km south of Katherine and is renowned for its 34 degrees Celsius thermal pool hot spring.
  • Feel every muscle in your body relax as you slip into the warm waters of Mataranka thermal pools. The water flows from Rainbow Springs to this idyllic spot surrounded by tropical rainforest.
