Wednesday we were on the road again leaving the rainforests of the Tablelands behind us. We negotiated the steep, windy range before passing the Windy Hill Wind Farm that has 20 wind turbines that provide enough power for 3,500 homes. Then we were passing through Ravenshoe, Ravenshoe is the highest town in Queensland and is where the rainforest finishes and the savanna begins. We were making our way to Innot Hot Springs following the Kennedy Highway.
Innot Hot Springs Leisure and Health Park is very much like an oasis in the bush, with six pools which all vary in temperature. The Caravan Park is pretty basic with unlimited use of the pools, we spent a very relaxing afternoon soaking in the thermal pools and reading in the shade. It really is a hard life sometimes.
Some people who want a more natural dip, dig a whole in the river sand of Nettle Creek which flows just below the caravan park and soak in the hot thermal water. Some sections of the creek are really hot with the potential to burn your skin.
