Palm Cove

There is so much to tell today! We went to Kuranda, a town up high. We went on the train, the railway was so hard for the men to build. They had to dig the tunnels with just shovels and pickaxes! Anyway, the rainforest and waterfalls were beautiful so we were lucky.

We looked at art shops (mum was happy) and then had lunch. We saw a Tasmanian Devil which looked like a cross between a wombat and a dog. So cool. We rode in an Army Duck which is amphibious... yes it goes on land and water. The rainforest was interesting and I learned some survival tips. There is a bamboo like plant that has water inside if you need a drink. Another tree has bark which takes away a toothache when you chew it. But you have to be careful, a berry bush gives you 4 years of pain if you touch it! I also saw aboriginal dancing, spear throwing, and got to throw a boomerang.

It was raining when we caught the skyrail, it's a cable car back down the mountain. We went through clouds, it felt wet when we put our hands out the window. We had a glass bottom cable car and it was great!

Then, more night swimming!
