Young P was “busting to go camping” and we met up with some chums from school, so she has a wonderful time.

Undara Lava Tubes

What an amazing place!  Contains the remnants of the worlds largest lava flow from a single volcano which erupted 23 cubic kilometers of lava.  The tubes are a little broken up now but are more than 100Km in length.

Some pictures:

P was very excited and was lucky enough to have the opportunity to get up close and personal with a Bilby.
