I plan to spend 3 nights at Undara, Fri 29/8/08 to Sun 31/8/08. Others can stay longer (or less nights) if they wish.
Here is a Google Earth image of the area. The airstrip is 1.8km long and 752m above sea level, the large brown cleared area at lower right (latitude -18.21, 114.69 longitude) is 852m above sea level. The road across the top of the image goes to Mt Surprise. There are 7 clear days to every 1 cloudy day in August/September. Day/Night temperatures are about 30 C/12 C.
Here is a road map. http://www.mainroads.qld.gov.au/MRWE...0?OpenDocument
Undara is 98 km from Mt Garnet, 176 km from Greenvale, 260 km from Cairns, 410 km from Townsville and 1680 km from Brisbane.
There is more information here: http://www.epa.qld.gov.au/projects/park/index.cgi?noback=1&parkid=133
The Kalkani Crater rim walk — 2.5km return (1.5 hours) sounds interesting.
