Georgetown

After leaving Atherton we headed back out on the Savannah Way, we stopped and went and looked at Millstream Falls, which are apparently the widest falls in Australia (nice but not as great as we had expected – Australia obviously doesn’t have very wide falls!). Next we stopped at Innot to see the thermal springs – this water comes from the magma core up through faults in the earth and bubbles up at the surface in the creek at Innot. The temperature was once recorded as being as high as 71 degrees. We discovered how HOT the sand got around the water’s edge! Interestingly the pools of water next to the river were very hot but the river was cool.  From here we drove out past Mt Surprise and headed towards Georgetown, camping the night off the side of the road at a little place we found about 10kms East of Georgetown.
