Cairns: Day Twenty-Seven - Morning (15 November)

Out on a trip today! We took the steam train to Kuranda, a village in the mountains above Cairns. The line was built by a Mr Robb and takes one and a half hours. On the way the train slows down so people can take photos of Stoney Creek Falls and Barron Falls.

After lunch, we visited Koala Gardens, which is a small wildlife park with wombats and wallabies as well as koalas (and freshwater crocodiles, lizards and a turtle though I wasn’t so keen on seeing those). When we got there the koalas and wombats were asleep (they do that a lot) so we had an ice cream before going back. They were very cute, especially the 10 month old baby who was climbing everywhere just like a human toddler.
