Things to do around Cairns

Undara Lava Tubes -

I think this might be a good one-night stay, perhaps at the end of our Cairns stay?

The Undara lava tubes are really interesting, about 4 hours out of Cairns, but with things to see along the way.





We could stay in old railway carriages (with ensuite) overnight, or there are cabins and glam-camping tents available.






To get to Undara we drive over the lovely Atherton tablelands, then down onto the Savannah lands.  Lots of giant termite mounds along the way.




There's a wildlife sunset tour, if we're interested.  Apparently quite good - bats and 'roos, etc.Cheese and crackers included.

And a bush-brekky in the morning at Ringer's Camp.  (A ringer is Aussie slang for a stockman or shearer.)



There's an activity around the campfire each night, with bush poetry or yarns, or interesting info. shared.
