Undara Volcanic National Park

Park that contains the remains of the longest flow of lava on earth, which has created a complex network of subterranean caves and passages.

Reviewed By MarkE20 - Whitianga, New Zealand

Great place set up by a local family station holders. Sealed road all the way off the highway. Great camping, caravan park and glamping tents available. Lots of wild life, the Lava Tubes are well worth a visit. There is a gift shop, restaurant and bar. We dined at the restaurant and the meals were fantastic. Great view from restaurant with outdoor wood fire on cold nights. Lots of other activities also, campfire sing songs, walks and hikes.

Chillagoe-Mungana Caves National Park

Reviewed By Dojii - Ocean View, Australia

Eddie was a local indigenous guide and what a privilege to benefit from his knowledge. He blended indigenous knowledge with scientific knowledge and patiently answered our questions. He was patient too with those who were a bit slower through the caves and low narrow passages. The caves have a huge range of beautiful kaarst and limestone formations. But my favourite sight was the jagged limestone range that contains the caves complex.

This gorge is not to be missed on your way to Cobbold. It was just an amazing experience with the rock formations being out of this world. Really recommend

Undarra Lava Tubes

Reviewed By F1394XAgarym - Hobart, Australia

Our trip to the Undara Experience within the Volcano National Park was well worth the effort, time and cost. Our guide was well practiced and extremely informative. I had visited the Lava tubes on Maui in Hawaii near Hana which were very amateurish tours by comparison. The facilities are first class and I would like to return for one of their music events

Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Caves

Welcome to the Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Tours! During our tours you will experience the results of our ground-breaking conservation project, as we guide you through our spectacular purpose-built cave, filled with thousands of glowing Glow Worms! We offer the only opportunity in Queensland to see Glow Worms during the day, and over the course of 30 minutes, you’ll meet a Glow Worm up close and learn all about their life cycle and behaviour. Our cave features a colony of native Mt. Tamborine Glow Worms, and is part of a long-term breeding program, so your admission helps support and ensure the survival of the species in South East Queensland for future generations!

A heart-warming story in these times of species extinction and habitat loss due to land-clearing and global warming. At the Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Caves, you can see glow worms up close while hearing all about their life cycle from an expert. It is very easy to access (no rough bush tracks or steps) on a good boardwalk through a small section of rainforest. Once inside the cave, there is a short video to help accustom eyes to the darkness then a short, flat walk into the inner cave to see the glow worms. After visiting the glow worm cave, be sure to check out the adjoining Frog Hollow which gives you the opportunity to see different species of frogs. A few steps here, but nothing onerous. Definitely a great educational experience and a wonderful opportunity to see a species that is declining in the wild.
