Undara National Park - and those lava tubes.

We arrived at Undara a bit tired from the drive.  Only non-powered sites available and a bit of a hike to the ameneties, but definitely worth the visit.  On the way, we passed through Charters Towers, a lovely old town with intact verandahs and charming architecture.  We passed through, but want to come back and see more of this lovely town.

We had plenty of room at Undara, so we "circled the wagons" and settled in.  M and I treated this as a free camp (it was not free, but cheap), connected the generator which P & H shared, and settled in for a noice camp.  We booked a tour of the lava tubes for 0800 in the morning, so early to bed.  We wanted to leave immediately after the tour to make Lake Tinaroo.

The lava tubes are magnificant.  By now, after Googling them, you know how they were formed, so I won't go into details here.  You did Google them, didn't you?  Go on, you know you want to - now.


















That's all from Undara.  On to Lake Tinaroo for a few nights.  More from there.  Hoo roo.
