Day 18 (Part 1): Undara Volcanic National Park

So far, my favourite area is definitely the Atherton Tablelands region. IMHO, it is just breathtakingly beautiful. It is definitely an area that I would considered for our “retirement” one day. It was the only place so far in my journey that I would have stayed longer. However, I am keen to get to the centre so just have to come back with the family one day.

I am heading to Undara hoping to get on a tour to the longest continued lave tube in the world. On the way, stopped at Ravenshoe, the highest town in Queensland at 930m above sea level. There was this place called Windy Hill not long before Ravenshoe. I could understand where the name came about…. the wind was so strong that I could hardly held my camera steady. Windmills are the feature on the hills and there couldn’t be a better place for them.

Arrived at Undara shortly after midday and was glad that camping sites and tour are available. So booked myself in for the 3:30pm tour and a night of accommodation.

It is now 2:21pm and sitting here at the bar having a ‘Flat White’ and waiting for my tour; thought I would do a quick post. I will try to do a second post later on to tell you about the lave tube walk.
