Kuranda: Butterfly Sanctuary

The shuttle bus — my personal shuttle bus, since I was the only passenger 😄 — brought me to Kuranda. Kuranda is a cute little rainforest village, though for whatever reason most places were on holiday when I got there. Some shops were open, but the majority were closed. A shame! There was a little extra section, like a tiny village within the village with “tropical island meets Western vibes.” I’m not sure how many shops were supposed to be there, but only one was open.

Outside of the tiny village, I found a bakery that sold pies and went for a kangaroo one. It was pretty good, actually!

Since strolling through mostly closed shops wasn’t particularly entertaining, I went to the butterfly sanctuary.
Trying to capture those fast flutterers on camera was decent fun! They’re really quick — and beautiful — so I spent some time having my little picturesque moment 🦋📸.Read more
