Sky rail rainforest day trip 26th Feb

Today we have a trip organised to go on a cable car up into the rainforest and then travel back down by train.

The cable car took 40 mins to arrive at a village called Kuranda there we looked around and had a coffee.

Then looked around the wildlife park, watched an aborigine dance show, and tried to throw a boomerang. pete was good at it. I got it in the air but it didn't come back.

We also went on an army duck, that was amazing how it travels on land and in water.

then it took one and a half hours to travel back down on the train. Nice and relaxing.
