Undara Lava Tubes

The Undara Lava Tubes are located about 275km south west of Cairns on the eastern edge of the ruggedly beautiful Gulf Savannah region. They can be reached by car, coach or visitors can join a private tour. The Lava Lodge offers a restaurant and different styles of accommodation. Specially restored antique railway carriages or a central camping area with above ground tents and all amenities.

The Lava Tubes are the remains of the past when the area was home of several active volcanoes. The tubes were formed by the colder lava on the outside of the lava flows. Over time the hot lava on the inside subsided and left an empty tube behind. Some of the tubes are open to guided tours only. View slideshow of the Undara Lava Tubes

Cobbold Gorge

Driving southwest from Undara you can find a mostly unknown, spectacular and beautiful place - Cobbold Gorge (400km west of Cairns). Nestled in the middle of 'Nowhere' it is well worth a visit. The Gorge is only open during winter months and can be reached only by 4WD. Cobbold Gorge is located on a privately owned cattle property and can only be accessed on a guided tour. Accommodation is available near the Gorge.

For visitors who join a private tour there is the chance of exploring some of the backroads of the Outback. View slideshow of the Cobbold Gorge.
