Download coordinates as: Innot Hot Springs is a rural town and locality in the Tablelands Region, Queensland, Australia.

Innot Hot Springs is located on the Kennedy Highway, between Mount Garnet and Ravenshoe in Far North Queensland.

[6] According to the Mamu people, the springs were created in the Dreamtime when a large maritime turtle had a hot stone put in her stomach.

From that day onwards, it ordered all big turtles were to stay in the sea, while small tortoises would be permitted to live in the freshwater rivers on land.

The lease passed through a number of people's hands before it was taken up by (Neil) Charles Spranklin in the late 1890s, who is generally regarded as the major force in developing the springs.

[9][8] By July 1888 there was a two-storey house with bathing sheds by the springs and in February 1891, the leaseholder Henry Faasch was described as being able to accommodate only 12 patients, but was in the process of erecting a hotel.

[13] In 1912 it was proposed that the hot springs were one of three "beauty spots" in the Cairns hinterland that must be preserved; this was prior to legislation to create national parks in Queensland.

The maid Nellie Hogg (Spanklin's step-daughter) initially fought the fire using water from jugs and then, with the help of others, managed to save the hotel, although there was £50 worth of repairs required.
