Undara Experience, Mt Surprise
An ancient secret has been unearthed for locals and visitors to Tropical North Queensland alike, which offers yet another natural wonder besides the reef and rainforest to marvel at. The Undara Volcanic National Park is one of Australia’s greatest geological wonders. It boasts the best preserved and largest lava tubes system on earth, offering an unforgettable experience in the Great Australian Outback and satisfying the appetites of both adventurer and eco-traveller.
Undara Experience, winners 2003 Australian tourism award for Unique accommodation, offers accommodation options to suit even the most price-conscious traveller. Specially restored motel style railway carriages are set amidst the Queensland bush. Budget options include the Wilderness Lodge, bunkhouse style with three share rooms, Swags Tent Village, comfortable ‘up-off-the-ground’ tents; or for those who prefer to experience the bush in every way, camping and caravan sites. These budget areas are serviced by a recently refurbished amenities block and practical camp kitchens.
The Lodge boasts superb cuisine. Awaken your tastebuds with their famous Bush Breakfast at the Ringers Camp, where the smell of campfire cooking is accompanied by the morning bird chorus. Relax at the saloon bar as the burnt oranges of the sunset fade into dark to reveal the clearest starlit night. Then relish a three course dinner under the Outback stars or within nostalgic dining carriages.
The award winning Savannah Guides conduct all tours from reception, including Lava Tube, wildlife and after-dark tours. These offer a unique insight into the geology, ecology, local history and bushcrafts of the region. Join in entertainment which the Savannah Guides vary nightly.
Stay a while in this beautiful and romantic Outback region and experience something that you will treasure forever. They call it the Undara Experience!
