This morning we took the SkyRail to Kuranda Village – a small town deep in the rainforest. The first stop was Red Peak.

The second stop was Bannon Falls.

We reached Kuranda Village about 10:30. Some shops and galleries were open and we saw the whole spectrum of souvenirs – from tacky to top quality paintings and sculptures. I spent most of my time at Koala Gardens – viewing regional wildlife.

Before heading back, we were given demonstrations of boomerang throwing (we all got a chance to throw a boomerang); didgeridoo playing; spear throwing. This was followed by a dance performance.

We rode back on the Kuranda Scenic Railway, built during the gold rush of the 1870s.

I ended my day, and my stay in Cairns, with a ride on the Reef Eye.
