Fascinating place. An area of 160 volcanoes. Each one went off once ....not all at the same time!
The last one went off 190,000 years ago and formed these amazing lava tubes.If lava is made up of 49% silicon, it has the elasticity to cover distance and that coupled with a continuous spew enabled the flow at Undara to travel 100 miles.

Accommodation in the park, apart from caravans and tents are railway carriages. In fact it's a theme....
