We left Atherton on saturdaymorning, heading west, inland. It's not good to
drive the car up those slopes in automatic gear. I discovered that when a
red light came on: "Automatic Transmission Oil Temperature". We had to pull
over in the middle of a long slope and alow the baby to cool down. The rest
of the trip I used manual second gear on longer slopes and we had no further
problems.
We ended up in "Innot Hot Springs", vulcanic hot springs in the creek. The
creek-water is cool, but there are plenty hot wells, so you can make the
water as warm as you like by digging a hole. The caravanpark was right on
the creek and had its own hot spa's and swimmingpools, fed by the mineral
spring water. A nice hotel at the other side of the creek run by Larry and
Ross. No internet, phone and TV in Innot.
Tuesday morning we left again and headed further west along the Savanah-way
towards Georgetown. We are there now in a nice quiet caravanpark and will
stay here propably 2 or three nights and then drive on in the direction of
Normenton/Karumba
