The warm glow of an ancient Volcanic landscape…✨🧡 Before we ventured out onto the Savannah Way, I had no idea this place existed in Queensland!

I left in complete awe learning of this natural wonder — Considered to be one of the longest lava tubes on our planet from a single volcano — Attenborough named this place “the 8th wonder of the world”.

This landscape was formed by immense volcanic activity over 190,000 years ago. ‘Undara’ is an Indigenous word meaning ‘long way’. The Lava tubes were formed by a molten lava flow cooling and solidifying on the outside. Surrounded by rich, red volcanic basalt soils, nature has now reclaimed this landscape, covered in a sea of native savannah grasses, concealing the hidden lava tubes below the earth’s surface.

We witnessed these volcanic craters from above in the sky and below we wandered underground within the depths of the lava tube structures — A truly fascinating experience to learn about the incredible natural history of this region and the magic of Mother Nature.
