UNDARRA LAVA TUBES

Left Forsayth about 9 and went back to Georgetown where we stopped at the local butcher and bought some steak, sausages , corned silverside and some mince for $30. The sausages are monsters. Stopped the local park and had a cuppa and cakes bought at the general store and went to the information centre.

Went through to Mount Surprise where we put in $100 of petrol and as it was only oneish decided to go onto Undarra arriving about 1400. We booked in for a two hour tours at 1530 so will only stay the one night. Changed over the regulator on the gas as there was a leak.

Went in a bus about 56 ks to the lava tubes which are amazing, they say there is 160 k’s of them some with the roofs fallen in and others complete. Truly amazing and have to be seen to gain a true perspective of their size, the guide was excellent as well.

Cooked up a pasta dish with the mince bought earlier and after tea I went to the camp fire where some young bloke was talking about feral animals in the park.
