Kuranda

There's so much to do around Cairns. One option is the train up to Kuranda and the Gondalas back though for a family it was somewhere in the $300 plus mark so we thought we'd just take a drive up that way. What a great few hours out we had. The views on the pass on the way up were spectacular - no wonder the skytrain thing is popular.

 

When we got there, we were fairly scantily prepared, I'd googled that there were a couple of walks around and we decided on the Barron Falls for no particular reason and boy was that a good choice.

Great wooden boardwalk through the rainforest and down to one of the Scenic Railway stops - which stopped just as we were almost there so got to watch it on it's way and the view of the falls was pretty good too.

My favourite bit was the walk through the forest though. Unbelievably the apartment where we're staying has a stroller in it, as well as buckets spades, etc. It came in handy today. Only about 10 minutes each way of walking but a bit far for Bianca  - no doubt she could make it but would rather be carried if given the choice and gets a little noisy about not getting her way at the moment, so much less negotiations required with the pram.

 

And after a demanding ride in the stroller, what could be better than icecream? Mmmmm
