Next we took the Skyrail gondola to Kuranda, a quaint village nestled in one of the Earth’s oldest rain forests.  We had spectacular views, including this waterfall, as we glided over the canopy of the rainforest.  Lunch consisted of Aussi meat pies, including a taste of kangaroo!

Before we headed to the airport, we stopped off  at the Cairns Botanical Gardens.  The gardens were filled with beautiful tropical flowering plants.  We arrived in Sydney early evening, where we will be for the next 3 days.
