Undara Experience
The word "Undara" is an aboriginal word meaning
"a long way". Some 190,000 years ago, when this
major crater in the McBride Volcanic Province erupted, its
molten lava flowed down a dry river bed. As the top layer
quickly cooled and crusted, the fiery flow below drained outward
leaving a series of long, dark and hollow tubes. Ancient roof
collapses created fertile pockets of rainforest which are
now the habitat to rainforest plants, animals and insects.
The Half Day Lava Tube tour visits three
to four sections of the Lava Tube Line. Your tour starts atop
a granite bluff where your Savannah Guide will point out numerous
volcanic craters in the area and other features of interest.
