    Cairns Day 2: nature + culture

    27 januari 2024, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Today was all about exploring nature and experiencing aboriginal culture. We started the day about 25 kilometres outside of Cairns at the world’s oldest rain forest (a UNESCO site) floating above its canopy in a cable car, walking through it, and venturing into its waters in an “army duck.” Next, we explored Kuranda, a village in the rainforest considered an arts and crafts hub.

    In the afternoon, we visited the Rainforestation Nature Park and were treated to traditional dances, spear-throwing demonstrations and taught how to throw a boomerang. (Brad was pretty good at it; I was not.🤣)

    It was another hot humid day so we went back to our hotel to relax and cool down before dinner.

    An update on our Great Barrier Reef cruise for tomorrow: cancelled 😫 Not wanting to leave Australia without having seen it in some way, we will be flying over it in a helicopter tomorrow. If we can’t go in it, we’ll go over it!

    Two to TravelBummer about the GBR boat tour. We flew out to the GBR in a helicopter in 2017 and it was great to see it from above.
