The Lava Tubes

We are now near the NT border and nearly finished with Queensland but first a little left over from the cape and the Undarra  lava tubes

 Above and below Seisia from the caravan park tip of Australia pity can't swim crocs

 Below the road to the tip furthermost point north

 Nobody told me another creek crossing to get to the top never mind glad I bought the snorkel

click on the picture and look at the number plate that creek crossing took mine

 Well here we are a long way to see a sign

 view from the tip

below this is what happens if you take your eyes off this road even for a second in the middle of nowhere on the cape

 

 we also came across a recovery by the racq  on the road to fruit bat falls a couple stuck for 20 hours after the suspension on the off road camper they were towing ripped clean off the chassis expensive recovery

 Spent the next few days in cairns cleaning the car and fixing the trailer plugs brake controller etc then it was off to the Lava tubes these prove to be exhilarating we could only visit with a guide the only way you are allowed to see them

 I will not comment as the pics say it all

 all created by lava flows these are the best in the world and a pleasure to see

 Lots of animals die in here and to Marion's delight loads of micro bats live here

below its pitch black in here this is  light up by the camera flash we walked at least 300 to 400 meters into this tube but it went on a lot longer

 On to Normington and the biggest croc ever caught

The road trains are big up here four trailers I could not get the whole thing on the camera

 Tomorrow its Northern Territory  and with over 10000kms done we are about a third of the way through the journey see you all later
