Atherton Tablelands to Undara Lava Tubes

Cairns, Queensland

Start your day with a coffee sourced from locally grown beans, then follow the Kennedy Highway to Innot Hot Springs, natural mineral springs located between Ravenshoe and Mount Garnet. Find the perfect spot in the bubbling hot shallows of Nettle Creek and soak your cares away. As you continue along the Kennedy Highway, pick up supplies at Mount Garnet for a picnic at Forty Mile Scrub National Park. Follow the short, self-guided walk through this unique forest for a chance to spot native birds and animals. Not long after leaving Forty Mile Scrub, you’ll see the turn-off to a sealed road through the Whitewater Cattle station leading to Undara Experience – the largest lava tubes system on earth. Fancy a night in a restored railway carriage, then book in at Undara Resort or select from the range of accommodation styles to suit all budgets. Join a guided ‘Wildlife at Sunset’ tour to catch a big sky sunset and to see the insect-eating micro bats. Then at 8pm, pull up a chair at ‘Round the Campfire’ for an evening of bush yarns, guitar music and talks about the environment.
