Undara Lava Tubes Day Trip

Venture south on the Bruce Highway crossing the s outhern end of the Tablelands via the Palmerston Highway with views from Crawford's Lookout and the top of Mt Hugh Nelson. Witness dramatic changes of scenery as you cross through the Atherton Tableland's rich tropical vegetation into the Gulf Savannah plains with their wide horizons and abundant wildlife including kangaroos and colourful birds. Experience the unique atmosphere of the Undara Lodge whilst enjoying your buffet lunch. Join your Savannah Guide for an informative tour of the fascinating Undara Lava Tubes in the Undara Volcanic National Park.

Formed 190,000 years ago, the lava swept its way down the river beds, and as the lava drained, the top layer cooled and formed a hard crust which became the roof of the tubes. These tubes are the oldest standing and best preserved systems anywhere in the world. The flow of the lava would have filled the Sydney Harbour in six days, and is the longest lava flow from any single volcano – 160 kilometres. The Undara Lava Tubes are one of Queensland's most unusual natural attractions, and make one very exciting and interesting place to visit.
