An ancient secret has been unearthed for locals and visitors to Tropical North Queensland, which offers yet another natural wonder besides the reef and rainforest to marvel at. The Undara Volcanic National Park is one of Australia's greatest geological wonders. It boasts the best preserved and largest lava tubes system on earth, offering an unforgettable experience in the Great Australian Outback; satisfying the appetites of both adventurer and eco-traveller.
The Lodge boasts superb cuisine. Awaken your tastebuds with their famous Bush Breakfast at the Ringers Camp, where the smell of campfire cooking is accompanied by morning bird chorus. Relish a three course dinner under the Outback stars or within nostalgic dining carriages.
The award winning Savannah Guides conduct all tours from reception, including lava tubes, wildlife and after-dark tours. These offer a unique insight into the geology, ecology, local history and bushcrafts of the region. Join in entertainment which the Savannah Guides vary nightly.
Don't forget Opera in the Outback or Outback Country Rock and Blues, two annual events as unique as the venue.
