Cairns- Rain Forest and Kuranda


Today’s trip is to Kuranda, getting there on the Skyrail – a cable car. Fantastic views above the rain forests, with stops on the way to admire the views.


Kuranda was a small touristy town with a few attractions including animal/bird sanctuaries.
Several parrots took a liking to my glasses and nibbled away at them. Others liked my hat – apparently attracted by metal rivet air holes – in fact one of them managed to get a rivet out, and stole it! Another whopping parrot also landed on my head and starting to peck my head – good job I still had my hat!


Also went on a ex-army Duck to see more of the rain forest, finally  returning to Cairns on the historical Kuranda railway.
