Best Job in the World comes to Undara
Bush Poetry
“Travel Oz” films at Undara
Travel Oz’s “The Two Tims” visited Undara recently to report on what the Gulf Savannah has to offer. Guest presenters on the ABC’s travel program Tim Doyle and Tim Charody headed out to film the lava tubes and activities at the lodge. Keep your eye out for the episode later on in the year. Visit the ‘Travel Oz’ web site

The latest photo sent to us at Undara
Last Friday Undara guests were treated to a special night around the campfire as Dave Delaney, Poet Laureate for the ABC Far North radio, joined the team at the lodge for the nightly activities. A mixture of his own creations and a few favourites ensured that there was standing room only for this special event. Dave would like to thank all the team and audience for such a great night.
Last weekend Undara hosted two of the 16 finalists in Tourism Queensland’s award winning campaign “The Best Job in the World”. Greg Reynen, an American based in Singapore, and James Hill, an Aussie with strong links in the UK, flew out via Cobbold Gorge to enjoy the lava tubes and Wildlife at Sunset tour before staying over night. The next day they headed off to Daydream Island on an 8 day tour through the region. They both expressed amazement and delight at being able to access the ‘Outback’ so easily from the reef and rainforests. Keep your eye out for further publicity from their stay in the Gulf Country. |
