Rob and shelley on tour
hiya all
We have done a day trip out of Cairns today. We were recommended to do a ride on the sky train and cable car so we thought hey why not.
We took the train out to Kuranda, it was an old train (see pictures) and it chugged us up the mountain and though the national park. We learnt loads about how the train line was constucted and how many people lost their lives in the construction.
We arrived in Kurands and immediately went to the Koala place. I cuddled a koala (yay) and it was fab. They smell a lot though and weigh loads. My guy was 7 years old and the 2nd youngest and weighed in at a lefty 7kg which is just over a stone. If you look at the photos, he looks like he's clingling on for dear life!! He was cute though and once I'd washed my arms and re-balanced the weight, I was chuffed to have done it.
We then had a wonder though the park and saw Wallabiles, crocs, snakes and lizards. We headed back on the cable car which took us over the rain forest. The views were lovely and we were able to get off the cable car twice for a look and guided tour around the rain forest (yes there were stops and we didnt just jump down from t he car!)
We had a lovely day and were knackered when we got back, so we then snuggled up in our cabin and watched Home and Away and the OC (nothing like living on the edge!)
Speak to you guys soon once we get to the next place.
Loadsa Luv and keep in touch
Shelley and Rob
