Heading west, Innot Hot springs bound we drove through Innisfail trucking through the town centre heading along the Palmerston Hwy. climbing the Misty Mountains. Toward the top we stopped at the South Johnstone River Gorge lookout. From the road we got a good view of the gorge and gave the 2k lookout walk a miss.

From there it was onto the country town of Millaa Millaa for fuel. Another postcard for mum and some supplies. Millaa Millaa has a huge Kari Pine tree trunk recovered from the national park after being blown down in a cyclone.
We drove on to Innot Hot springs to evaluate the camping facilities and test the water. Yes the spring is hot even though the spring head near the bridge appears to be producing no more water then a garden tap. The Innot Springs Caravan Park didn’t appear to offer a lot of shade for tents and trailers so returned to the Wild River Bridge about 5k’s back east to lunch under the bridge. We decided to return to Bedrock Caravan Park at Mount Surprise, where we had stayed a month previous on our way from the territory to Cairns.
