Saturday 6th May

Cathy got an early morning fix of shopping around the Kuranda Markets. We were also fortunate to spot a bottle of our favorite Sav Blanc at the local pub. As it chiiled in the afternnon, we took the Kuranda Scenic Railway down to Freshwater Station stopping at the spectacular Barron Falls on the way. Then a quick bus ride to Skyrail, a gondola set above the rainforest. We stop again at Barron Falls this time on the opposite side of the gorge from the railway station. At last, the time came for dinner at the "Kuranda Verandah" reataurant at the caravan park. The waiter poured the wine, but to our dismay, it was off!! We settled for an Oomoo unwooded chardonnay instead which was lovely. Cathy was happy to avoid another bite - she found a snake in the toilets when she got up in the night! We heard the next morning that hans had killed the snake which was a brown tree snake. The joys of camping in the rainforest.
