275 kms southwest of Cairns lies Undara (outback Australia with a twist! http://undara.com.au/) and just getting there was half the fun. Winding roads (often disappearing into a single lane) fallen boulders, potholes, enormous termite mounds (right photo), not to mention a giant grey kangaroo that hopped across the road no less than 6 inches from the hood of the vehicle (honest - no exaggeration). What do you call something that's travelling towards you at a 100 km an hour, is as long as the Queen Mary, is as wide as a double garage and takes up the entire road? A roadtrain. Luckily the shoulders were conducive to last minute swerving and fast braking otherwise the roadkill, which is scattered everywhere would include us.
