3 – 4 October 2024
We left Etty Bay and drove back towards Atherton, making a
morning tea stop at Henrietta Creek which we had to abandon due to the number
of march files intent on biting us. We stopped at the park in Millaa Millaa
instead.
We were aware of bushfires in the area near Innot Hot
Springs
so called ahead to make sure we wouldn’t be bothered by smoke. We
stopped for lunch at Millstream Falls and went for a walk down to the falls
lookout.

We drove on through recently burnt scrub but did not see any
active fires that afternoon. The attraction at Innot Hot Springs is, of course,
the springs which bubble up in the creek, at sometimes extremely hot
temperatures. The caravan park has taken advantage of this natural phenomenon
and created a series of small swimming and plunge pools of varying
temperatures. These are available at no extra charge for park guests, and day
visitors can pay to use the facility.
Once we had chosen a site and settled in we wandered over
for the first of a number of dips. Therapeutic value aside, moving between the
pools at various temperatures was a great way to spend the afternoon and
evening.
The following morning we packed up again and set off down
the Gregory Developmental Road on our way south.
