Undara Volcanic National Park is one of Australia's greatest geological wonders. The park is located 275 km south west of Cairns and boasts the best preserved and largest lava tube system on Earth, offering an unforgettable experience in the Australian Outback and satisfying the appetites of both adventurer and eco-traveller.

Undara is an Aboriginal word meaning "a long way". Its story began some 190,000 years ago, when it erupted and the fiery molten lava flowed into a nearby dry riverbed.
