Another beautiful sunrise to start the day and we were off (by 7:45 AM) on our 30 minute drive to Freshwater Station to catch the train. The ride up to the top took an hour and a half, through 15 tunnels and over 23 bridges. It was spectacular viewing from the old, open air rail cars we were in. We walked around Kuranda through various markets, had coffee, then lunch at the Irish Pub on the our way to the Skyrail station. We took the Skyrail down, stopping at two different places to get off, first seeing the views from the Barron Gorge overlook and then taking a walk through the forest with a ranger. Again the scenery was breathtaking, as was the ride in the cable car. We were so close to some of the tree tops in the rainforest you felt like you could touch them! We finished off the day on the deck watching 2-3 little lizards who came to "dinner" around our porch light and photographing the Curlews who wandered by (again).

I finally read through and updated myself to your adventures. It is quite different to be on the other side of the world as you guys as you galavant around (I thought that was my job)...
It seems like everything is go, go , go but I feel the serenity that you are able to experience even with a full schedule.
Much love and keep writing. People rarely post comments but I'm sure they keep reading.
Love, love... JOSHUA
We should have known Mike couldn't stay away from the RR.
You have some wonderful pictures and the reading is fun.
