This site is not very easy to get to. About 5 hours drive north west of Townsville, some of it along rather rough outback roads, but it is well worth it.

[edit] Undara Lava Tubes
The lava tubes are a unique geological formation - huge hollow tubes caused by lava run off from a nearby volcano.
The only other place on the planet to have lava tubes is Hawaii... and they are only 1-2 metres in diameter. The lava tubes at Undara are huge, running for 20-30km from their origin, and 10-30 metres in diameter.
They have been well researched and are well presented by the local groups. Allow about 2-3 hours to explore them. This may well mean an overnight stay in the area - book ahead.
