Day 16 - to Innot Hot Springs

Sunday 2nd May, 2021 24.1km 

411.6 / 4687.3 km


Today was a walk down the gravel road to the main highway and a plod dow the bitumen into Innot Hot Springs. Not much to talk about here jus a 24 kilometre or so slog to get to hopefully a hot meal

I did stop and had a bath (no soap) in a creek beside the road just to get some of the sweaty stink off.


The highway was about a 7 kilometre long traverse and it was busy. I got to the Innot Hot Spring Tavern and enquired for a room and the kind gentleman said yes there was a room. "Thank you" I say in desperate gratitude. Shower, Mattress, Pillows and Television. I find out its the Labour Day long weekend here in Queensland and the Mount Garnett Rodeo is on. The caravan park across the river is full and I had to go across there to pick up my resupply box. The kind gentleman's wife frowned with dispproval that I had been given a room as she chased away a motorbike rider that was looking for a tent site.


I was glad I was already in and she wasn't willing to kick me back out. I understand now she has to watch the numbers that can visit the pools in the park as they are restricted to only 20 in the pool area and with a full park it can get overwhelming. However after talking to other guests here she has the same cranky attitude all the time, so I was not special. The dinner ended up being a bit of a disapointment. Its' not a pub meal by any means as the rump was cut to minute steak thickness and was quite small and tough. The salad and chips were lettuce and a dressing with a couple of slices of capsicum. The chips I counted were 13. Bit better than lentils but not worth the money. I did order sweets so I could borrow the spoon and continue to cook.
