24.01.2022 Did you know, 'Undara' is an Aboriginal word meaning 'long way’? The Undara Lava Tubes were formed 190,000 years ago from a volcanic eruption that flowed across the landscape. It flowed for 160km making it Australia's longest lava tube system. ...

19.01.2022 For millions of years Undara was an active shield volcano. About 190,000 years ago, in the Cainozoic Era, there was a massive eruption and lava flowed more than 90km to the north and over 160km to the north-west. An estimated 23.3km3 of lava flowed from the volcano at a rate of about 1000m3 every second. A lava flow this large could fill Sydney Harbour in six days. It is thought that the lava flowed at a temperature of around 1200C. The lava tubes and caves were for...med when rivers of lava confined to a valley crusted over and formed a roof. Insulated in its casing of solidified lava, the lava flow carried on for tens of kilometres before draining out, leaving an empty tube of lava. Weaker sections of the roof of the tubes later collapsed to form caves and depressions. More than 70 caves have been found in the park. There are 23 countries around the world with lava tubes, but the Undara system is believed to be the longest of its kind. @mh.anselmo #undaraexperience #FarNorthQueensland #australia #qldparks #lavatunnels #lavatubes #exceptionalexperiences #discovernature #discoveringplanetearth #exploring_qld
