Nestled in the heart of the Australian Outback, the Undara Lava Tubes stand as silent witnesses to the geological wonders that have shaped the continent for millions of years. This subterranean marvel, located in Undara Volcanic National Park in Far North Queensland, offers an unparalleled journey into the depths of Earth’s history. Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of the Undara Lava Tubes and uncover the secrets hidden beneath the rugged Australian landscape<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n The Undara Lava Tubes were formed approximately 190,000 years ago during a series of volcanic eruptions from the Undara volcano. As molten lava flowed, the outer layer solidified, creating a crust while the inner lava continued to flow. Eventually, the lava drained away, leaving behind a network of tunnels and caverns that stretch for over 160 kilometers, making it one of the longest lava tube systems in the world.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\tFormation of the Undara Lava Tubes<\/strong><\/h2>\n
