Australia - Part 3


We took the Kurunda Railway to the Rainforest one day and spent the whole day riding the train, walking around the Aboriginal Village, watching an Aboriginal show and just having a great time seeing the beauty around us.


The trip back down to Cairns was by SkyRail. It gave us the sights in a different perspective. It was amazing to be able to see 360 degrees around you.


We even saw this crocodile enjoying the sun. Believe it or not, there had been a sign by the river that said swimming was allowed. I think NOT!


We saw a great show where we learned a lot about the Aboriginal culture, the plants and things of nature they use for medicinal purposes, their legends about the creation etc. It was so enjoyable! We even learned how to throw a boomerang and a spear. Lynn did pretty well at both. Me, not so good.


I think I will take this Aboriginal home with me.
