AUTHENTIC OUTBACK HOSPITALITY

This 3 Day Undara Self Drive Experience allows you to explore the accessible outback at a holiday pace, enjoy authentic outback hospitality, in the path of a volcano and meet Aussie Wildlife in its bush home.

Itinerary:

Day One: Travel from the West along the Savannah Way, or from the East coast onto Tropical North Queensland’s Outback region, known as the Gulf Savannah. On arrival at Undara Experience settle in and relax, or take one of the many self guided walking trails, followed by dinner and an evening campfire activity. Stay overnight in restored railway carriage accommodation. Lunch and dinner included.

Day Two: Awaken your tastebuds with Bush Breakfast at the Ringers Camp to the accompaniment of the morning bird chorus. Then join your Savannah Guide for a fascinating Half Day tour of the lava tubes followed by an evening Wildlife at Sunset tour. Evening campfire activity, then overnight in the carriages. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

Day Three: Rise to Bush Breakfast. Day at leisure, perhaps take time to explore the local area on one of the many self guided walks or perhaps take a walk to the One Hundred Mile Swamp to view the array of birdlife. Afternoon departure to Cairns from Undara Experience. Breakfast and lunch included.

Accommodation:

Accommodation is in a restored turn-of-the-century rail carriage. These Queensland railway carriages have been lovingly restored to their former glory and now lie beneath tall, shady gum trees. Charming, compact and comfortable they feature covered decks to watch wildlife and enjoy the restful bush sounds.

Getting There:
The Undara Experience is 275 kilometres south west of Cairns. It is between 390 and 510 kilometres northwest by road from Townsville, depending which route you take. Travel time from Cairns is 4 hours.

Undara Experience is an approved destination for hire vehicles. The road to Undara is now sealed the entire way from Cairns. Sections between Mt Garnet and 40 mile scrub National Park are narrow and drivers share the road with an icon of Australia’s outback, Road-trains. (Some up to 50 metres long). PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY and keep an eye out for Kangaroos and cattle wandering onto the road.

A variety of scenic routes are available:

  • Cairns to Undara via Port Douglas & Rex Range
  • Cairns to Undara via Kuranda
  • Cairns to Undara via Gillies Range
  • Cairns to Undara via Innisfail
