Kids Stay and Play for FREE!

Wondering what to do with the kids these holidays? Undara would like to offer all children 14 years and under the chance to come out to the famous lava tubes and not pay for any touring or accommodation this July. While mum and dad get to save some money the kids will be amazed by the wildlife and scale of the oldest lava tubes in the world. Just don't tell the kids that they might learn something!

Of course you have to prove your age and conditions apply.

Remember its only a 41/2 hour trip from Townsville or 31/2 from Cairns along a fully sealed scenic road: your children's memories will last a lifetime....

But they are not the olny ones with food on their minds. Waiting in the trees are the Night Tigers or Brown Tree Snakes, harmless to us, these preditors strike out for dinner in a show that’s all natural and just out of a documentary. NOT TO BE MISSED!!!

• Overnight accommodation in turn of the century Rail Carriage,
• AND a 3-course Dinner in Fettlers Iron Pot Bistro,

Wildlife at Sunset
Monday, September 29, 2008

It’s all starting to happen now on our Wildlife at Sunset tour!

As the weather warms up the bats, following the increase in food sources, start their migration back to Barkers Cave for the mating season.

The population swells into the 100,000’s and the nightly forays from cave to bush make a stunning spectacle. But there are more than just gaping tourists and camera flashes awaiting their emergence. “Night Tigers” or Brown Tree snakes dangle in readiness, lightening quick lunges are required to grab a nightly feed of the microbats zigzagging their way from the cave’s mouth.

But don’t worry; harmless to us, it’s the bats these reptiles are after. So put yourself in the documentary next time you are out at Undara!
