Qld - Mt Surprise


Bedrock Village Caravan Park

Mt Surprise is about 300 klms east of Cairns along the Savannah Highway.
Joe and Jo run this park and the minute you arrive you are welcomed and feel like part of the family. A delightful place to stay.
The caravan park is charming and the theme is “the flintstones”. The toilets are labelled “Fred” and “Wilma” and are large, modern and clean.
The spaces are large and drive through so it certainly makes parking a dream.
They also have a convenience shop. The restaurant serves lunch and the servings are generous.
Each night there is a cooked meal, usually around $14.00 per head. The night we ate there the meal was corned beef and vegetables. It was a dream come true as we arrived at the park late and cooking is always the last thing on my mind at that stage.
Friday night is “sing a long” around the fire with Joe playing the guitar. There is story telling and jokes to add to the entertainment.
From here you book your tours to the Undara lava tubes. We did a half day tour and found that adequate. Our Savannah guide did a wonderful job telling us about the history of the volcanoes as well as the plant and animal life in the area.
