Undara Volcanic Park

---

Mar 31

An early rise at the Innot hot springs. Before breakfast, we decided to take a morning dip. The water was really warm (38 Degrees). Dad went into the ultra-hot 44 degrees pool. When he came out, he was steaming and was totally red below his shoulders (see picture).

There was a river running near the campsite. We went down to check it out. In some places, the water was so hot, we couldn't put our hands into it. There was a dead frog and a dead fish because the water was so hot.

The way to Undara Park didn't feel as bumpy or windy. There were many dead animals on the roads heading to the Outback. Undara is a volcano. The unique feature about the volcano is that it made tunnels called Lava Tubes. We went on a tour and swam in one of the tubes (that has only happened 3 times in the last 20 years). A lava tube is like an underground river of lava that ran dry and formed tunnels.

We were going to drive north to Wonga, but we were having a great time at Undara Park and decided to stay the night.

It sounds like you have it under control now. And you are getting used to the traveling. Does the water in the toilet spin the other way down under?? This is important to know I do not know why. Have more fun and enjoy Nan and Pake.
