Back to the bush

WINDFARM NEAR ATHERTON Today we left Undara and headed to Atherton which is the hinterland in behind Cairns. Must say that after the last few weeks of dry flat savannah land it was lovely to see green rolling hills, rainforest and ferns. There are even different cows here, in the outback they are brahmans. For the first time since the end of May there were gray clouds and moisture in the air.
LAVA TUBES at Undara National Park, they are 190,000 years old and were caused when a volcano erupted and lava ran for three months and caused a tube, it runs over 160kms and is one of the longest in the world. This particular one has water in it from the wet season, the first time water has been in there since 1991.
