Undara Volcanic National Park

There are more small animals to see during the sunset trip, and there is a great chance for small animals to appear at this time, especially kangaroos. Kangaroo, kangaroo, it is rumored that British Captain Cook found the first Australian island when he saw the kangaroo, he asked the locals what this is, and the local aboriginals replied: gangurru, meaning not know, but Captain Cook directly mistaken the kangaroo as the name of the kangaroo and flowed It was later proved by linguists that the legend lacked a true basis and could only be used as an anecdote. In fact, many Australian animals are pronounced in native languages, such as Koala koalas. The guide introduced the various animals that can be seen along the way on the shuttle bus, and explained that kangaroo is actually a kind of kangaroo, kangaroo, wallaby, wallaroo are actually kangaroo, the most obvious difference between them is the difference in body size, kangaroo is the largest, wallaby is next, wallaroo is the bottom, Wallaroo is not a hybrid of kangaroo and wallaby, but a separate breed.

A cold winter is coming, and in the southern hemisphere, Australia and New Zealand are the peak season. Recommended for Andara Volcano National Park (Undara Volcanic Park), a niche attraction inland North Queensland. From Cairns, the one-way drive is about 3 1⁄2 to 4 hours. After half the journey, there is basically no signal for mobile phones and wifi eggs. After arriving at the visitor center of the Volcano Park, only the restaurant next door to the visitor center has free wifi, which is often unavailable. The mobile phone can receive a weak signal in the restaurant, completely relying on rp. Basically, the volcanic park is a lost zone. Website: The Volcano Park Visitor Center has a variety of experience activities to participate, more popular are two: Sunset Tour 60 Australian dollars/person, two hours of volcanic lava tube tour 58.5 Australian dollars/person, two hours of time We participated in both activities, the sunset tour is at 5 pm, The lava tube tour is at 8 am. The first half of the two trips overlapped a bit, and the shuttle bus carried tourists into the depths of the volcano park. There are more small animals to see during the sunset trip, and there is a great chance for small animals to appear at this time, especially kangaroos. The morning tour included a visit to two lava tube holes, Stephenson Cave and Archway.

Walking southwest of Cairns, after about an hour of winding up the mountain road, you will pass through the beautiful, endless plains called the Atherton Plateau. If we continue inland, after about 300 kilometers, we will reach a fairly barren, barren, well-vegetated, animal-free place called Andara Volcano Park. About 190,000 years ago, a three-month eruption took place, with lava flowing rapidly down the ocean and then cooling rapidly, forming a rare vascular lava cave. The coastline has retreated to more than 200 kilometers in 190,000 years, and Andara volcano is covered by tropical rainforests, which are home to many animals and plants. There is a sense of adventure in this strange rocky place where old trees are rooted. Travelers can choose to participate in sunset tour and Morning Lava Tube Tour here, and the staff will lead them to see the animals, taste the champagne and enjoy the sunset.

The lava tube experience tour is the most distinctive event in Undara Volcano Park. Must be guided tour by guide, guide and we explained how the lava tubes formed and the history of Andara National Park, along the way there are many mineral stones, one of which also has crystals that can shine in the sun, remember, Everything in the park cannot be taken out of the park, and garbage cannot be left in the park. A total of two lava tube holes, Stephenson Cave and Archway. Stephenson's lava tube is relatively deep, the plank road can always be accessed very inside, there is no light in the plank road, all rely on the guide's flashlight, it is best to take out the phone to light, otherwise it is easy to fall. Compared with the two holes, I prefer the Archway look. The Archway is probably because there is also a hole in the direction of the rainforest, which happens to form an arch. It is mossy and the morning sun shines in, which is quite magical.
