We were at Undara in Oct 2006. The lava tubes themselves are, as other posters 
have said, visited on organised trips  - no birds to speak of but nonetheless 
pretty interesting and I'm sure kids would enjoy it.

There are also some good walking trails - good for dry country woodland birds - 
I remember we saw a lot of Squatter Pigeons.

The rangers do fireside talks in the evening - quite atmospheric but I'm afraid 
their wildlife knowledge was not very good. (Or maybe I'm a bit picky!)

It was very dry at Undara when we were there - we found it fascinating to head 
East and within a few score miles there were patches of rainforest and then we 
were at Millaa Millaa and it was pouring with rain and very green.
