Undara Lava Tubes – After the wet season!

admin — Tue, 08 May 2012 10:17:30 +0000

On the weekend 3 of us went out to Undara Lava Tubes, now not expecting to much thinking it’s going to be hot dry and just some old dry dusty caves. Well what a surprise, I was really taken back by the whole camping accommodation (Train Carriages). The resort has a beautiful big restaurant over looking the rustic surrounds with a fantastic breakfast area in the bush. Watch out for the local Kookaburras they will have your breakfast if your not looking! The sunset & wildlife tour will take your breath away with the fantastic views sipping a fine sparkling wine and munching on smoked cheese. We then move onto the Lava Tubes to view the famous bats that inhabit just one of the Lava Tubes. After breakfast the next morning battling the local wild life for our breakfast this was allot of fun, we take off for the morning Lava Tube tour. The tubes still have water in them and wow what an experience, I never knew so much about Lava Tubes until after this tour! I give Undara Lava tubes a 5 / 5 for the whole experience from the staff who where fantastic to the food and of coarse the country side, wildlife and the Lava Tubes. Do yourself a favour and head on out to Undara Lava Tubes you won’t be disappointed!

Well we are here we have arrived welcome to 2012 !! I hope everyone survived the new year festivities all over the world !! The year in reflection has seen allot of changes happening in the tourism industry here in Cairns for 2011. I think prices on tours are starting to stabilize a little bit there has been allot of movement in prices over the last year which reflects the economic times felt by the industry. X-mass saw allot of people going out to the Great Barrier Reef with just about every tour boat full everyday over the X-mass New Year period !! Fantastic! It really does show the resilience of Cairns & The Great Barrier Reef. Cairns is a world class facility with amazing landscapes and natural beauty that is hard pressed to find in such concentration anywhere else in Australia. As the Bangkok post put it the World Wonder Down Under! its true everybody is welcome here in Cairns! the lifestyle of this Great Barrier Reef City continues to move forward with people flocking here from all over the world to see her iconic Gem The Great Barrier Reef! Happy New Year everybody ! Nemo says G’day Mate !

Grey Whaler Reef Shark Night Dive Pro-Dive Cairns Australia

So many of the questions I get asked is are there sharks out on The Great Barrier Reef. The answer is yes of course there is but what are the main sharks people see when they take a snorkel or dive trip out to the Reef.

Well from making nearly 2oo dives of Cairns in the last 2 years the majority of my encounters have been with white and black tip reef sharks. These guys are shy very timid and will swim away when frightened.

So my reply to people when they ask the question are there sharks on the reef I say yes there are! make a wish when you see one you are lucky.

I made a 3 day live aboard out on the Reef last week with Pro-Dive Cairns they have a fantastic operation a great crew fantastic dive gear and really good quality sites out on the reefs from Cairns. Here is a little video diving at night just under the boat this little guy came in to say hello. Enjoy the video and where ever you are happy diving.
