Undara Lava Tubes

Undara Lava Tubes

[feature-block]

"Set in the Gulf Savannah country, in Tropical North Queensland Australia, Undara is as ancient and alluring as the continent itself. The Undara Lava Tubes stand as silent sentinels to our pre-history. Here you can walk in the path of a volcano and sleep cocooned in an antique railway carriage as your dreams connect you with the essence of this timeless land."

[/feature-block] 

A place where you can explore natural geological wonders, enjoy the comforts and hospitality of a unique outback setting and where the local wildlife are as abundant, as they are at home, in their surroundings. In short, Undara needs to be experienced! Undara Experience delivers the essence of the Australian Outback. From the natural landscape of rolling savannah plains and ancient lava tubes, to the warmth and hospitality of your hosts and the variety of flora and fauna. The day begins with bird song and ends with a golden sunset. In between, there’s a wealth of things for you to see and do, catering to people of all ages and abilities.
