Kuranda
What an exciting day! We took the Scenic Rail to Kuranda this morning. During the rail trip the commentator explained how the rail and tunnels were made by hand during the late 1800s. It is mind blowing to think that men dug all that rail with only hand picks and dynamite. The views from the train were fantastic. We were blessed with a beautiful fine day so could see way out over the ocean.

We spent several hours walking around Kuranda. The walk along the river front was especially enjoyable. Most people from the train went straight to the Kuranda shops, so we had the walk to ourselves. So peaceful and quiet.

The trip back was via the Sky Rail. Again a wonderful experience to be able to travel over the tree tops of the rainforest. There were a couple of stops along the way, one at Barron Falls which provided a different view of the falls. (The camera was obviously clicking furiously!)
A very enjoyable day.
Tomorrow is a trip to Green Island. The weather forecast is for fine weather so we hope that turns out to be true.
