Our plan today was to take the Kuranda Railway up the mountain to Kuranda, explore the town and surrounding rainforest and come back by Sky Rail. Tim drove to Freshwater station where we left for the top of the mountain; learning the history, and railing through 15 tunnels, and across a narrow switchback bridge, around a waterfall or two to reach the top. Tim and Pam elected to hike the River and Jungle hikes and Bosco and I strolled about the village talking to shopkeepers, Didgeridoo makers and assorted tourists we met along the way. After lunch we visited the Butterfly Sanctuary for a half hour tour; time well spent. We returned to earth by Sky Rail, really an experience to savor. Even those of us “Heights” challenged enjoyed the ride and the view. Prayer helps!
