Undara Tour & Cobbold Gorge 4 Day Tour - Cairns
Undara Lava Tubes Tour – Overnight Accommodation in Railway Carriages
Our Undara Lava Tube tour offers an insight into the days when dinosaurs were roaming the landscape of what we now call outback Queensland, at that time it was an ocean full of coral just like the Great Barrier Reef until an explosion of catastrophic proportion totally change the landscape forever.
Whilst exploring the Undara Lava Tubes, you will see caves where pioneers and geologists such as Richard Daintree camped out for months on end as he mapped and explored the region.
Explore natural geological wonders, see native Australian wildlife, enjoy the flora and fauna of the great Australian outback and the scenery of the savannah plains of Queensland.
Day 1. D After collecting our 6 guests we head for the outback savannah trails leaving Cairns at approximately 8:30am and make our way up the Gilles Highway and on through the fertile Atherton Tablelands to Millstream Falls then a rest stop at Ravenshoe “Queensland’s Highest town” to enjoy a treat and coffee at the popular bakery. (own cost)
We then peruse the unique emporium, before travelling on through the four mile scrub into the volcanic lava country and our destination for the first night at Undara Lava Tubes National Park.
We settle in and enjoy an evening at Lava Lodge with its comfortable multiple award winning historical railway carriage accommodation and gaze at the stars and yarn around the camp fire after a nice dinner.

Day2. B D Breakfast is a treat at Undara as you walk out into the bush and enjoy a cooked breakfast with all of the local wildlife. You can even learn to cook your own toast on an open fire and boil a billy.
Today is full of excitement as our Undara Lava Tubes Savannah Guide takes you on an informative tour of the fascinating lava tubes. The outer surface of molten lava solidified leaving these unusual tunnel like formations, set high in the savannah country around the vast cattle properties.
These volcanic lava tubes are said to have been formed around 190,000+ years ago when a staggering 23 cubic kilometres of lava flowed into a river bed and kept flowing for 160 klm making it the longest lava flow from a single volcano in the whole world.
The flow left behind huge caves or tubes with some over 21m wide and up to 10m high. This is genuinely an unforgettable geological tour.

We travel on along the Gulf Development road to Mount Surprise and on to Einasleigh. We call in at this old outback pub for a basic lunch (own cost) at the Einasleigh Hotel, with some spare time to view the Copperfield Gorge just across the road.
Then we continue on to Forsayth, the end of the line for the Savannahlander train line, enjoy a drink (own cost) by the bar at this newly refurbished outback Aussie pub and corner store before travelling on thru the outback country to stay at Cobbold Gorge.
Staying at Cobbold Gorge Village for two nights, we can star gaze as we sit around the nightly prepared campfire and have a yarn with other travellers.
