Moving On (Wed)

Today it was time to move on but first we had one move Cave to visit...the Donna Cave. So it was up early and pack so we could get out there before Bob, our guide. Another beautiful and fascinating cave...alll worth visiting. 

With only a relatively short drive today we had time to head out of town first to visit The Archways at Mungana...a semi-open cave system that you can explore yourself. 

Back in Chillagoe we fuelled up the car, bought some lunch to go and set off for the Undara Experience...a resort at the Undara Lava Tubes over near Mt Surprise. 

We chose a reasonably direct route...only 120km of good dirt road today. It turned out to really be a good dirt road...and it needed to be as it was the official route for road-trains.

We arrived at Undara late in the afternoon to find a place quite different to Chillagoe...a well set up and organised resort with lots of tourists about...being directly accessible from Cairns on a sealed road obviously making a big difference.
