Taking in Some of the Scenery (The Story Continues)



After a wonderful day on a motorcycle, we decided to bite the bullet and take a guided tour. One of my aunts has an incredible love for trains, and ever since I was a child some of the joy has rubbed off. With lots of family members I've enjoyed the ride on Cass' Scenic Trains. Because of all the great memories over the years I was naturally excited to take a scenic train ride north to a village called Kuranda.


Kuranda is surrounded by rain forest and has tons of shops and markets with lots of historical and cultural influence. Here's a link if you'd like to learn more.



We enjoyed milling around the village shops and bought some souvenirs, including an aboriginal print, then hopped on the SkyRail that takes you over the rain forest. We had beautiful weather and a wonderful, relaxing day.





After returning to our hostel later in the evening, we picked up our stuff and made our way North to Port Douglas, where we spent the next 3 days of our vacation. We'll show you some pictures and tell you some of those adventures in the next few days! Please keep reading!
