Sunday in Kuranda

It's a miracle! I'm actually in a sky tram. Rob took this picture to prove it actually happened. I even had my eyes open for some of it. The only problem I had was on the last leg when we shared the car with someone who insisted on jumping up to take a picture. Eeeeeeeeeee.

The outing was to a remote village that specialized in rainforest experiences. They also had a bird sanctuary where we saw a cassowary, a petting zoo where I held a koala and a butterfly enclosure where they were everywhere. We have a lot more pictures for the ol' scrapbook.

The day started with a train ride up the Barron river with many scenic views of the Barron Falls. The weather was perfect.

The village itself had a lot of souvenir stands and we were really tempted by the digeridoo seller. We did consider that without someone to teach us to play the thing, it would probably just end up as a dusty stick in the corner.

We finished the tour early because neither of us needed any of the odd things that were being sold in the extensive market. I'm sure they were wonderful in their own way, but not really what we were interested in. Anyway, we went to the skyrail early and got down before the buses had arrived to take us back to our hotel. We only had to wait a little and they showed up. It was a very tiring day.
