Week 11- Cairns Highlands





Week 11- Cairns Highlands

One day we took the Skyrail up to the town of Kuranda. We visited the tourist shops and walked through the Butterfly Garden. We took the Scenic Railroad back to Cairns. We went out to Undara to see the lava tubes, which are bigger than the ones in Hawaii. We drove back to Atherton and visited several parks in the area. On one hike we found a 3 foot snake on the trail. With a stick I encouraged him to move from the trail. A littler further down the trail there was a 9 foot Amythesis python across the trail. We walked around this guy! As a side attraction, a leech took a liking to my blood, what a hike! We returned to Cairns and flew to Darwin.
