It’s a big day today as we leave the sand behind us and head for the outback and Savannah country! We’ll have an early start from Airlie Beach and make our way north through the small town of Bowen (home of the new Baz Luhrman Movie, Australia) and onto Townsville for a quick lunch break. Then it’s back on the road, heading inland over the Great Dividing range to the Great Inland Way and north to our outback experience like nothing you’ve seen before! Undara is famous throughout the world for Lava Tubes – plus it’s unique outback style accommodation, gorgeous bush setting and abundance of native wildlife. As the sunsets you’ll get to experience a Wildlife at Sunset Tour with your Savannah Guide**. Then after dinner kick back by the campfire – feel free to join in the entertainment. This will be a highlight of your 7 days!
