Kuranda

Day 57, Thursday, March 9 , 2006 North of Cairns is the small town of Kuranda in the Queensland rainforest. The Kuranda Scenic Railway runs between the two at a very leisurely pace allowing time to view the scenery along the way. Kuranda has a number of attractions, including the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary where dozens of colourful butterflies zip around you. For the trip back to Cairns we took the Sky Train, gondolas that are suspended above the rainforest providing a unique and spectacular view of the forest below. This evening we had supper at The Swiss Pencils Restaurant again as we had dined there last night as well. The owner, who personally meets everyone at the door, greeted us by name and remembered what we had ordered last night. I was amazed. The food was also exceptional, Sharron had “bugs”, a crayfish and I had rack of lamb. If visiting the Edge Hills district in Cairns, don’t miss The Pencils.
