I have just returned from Cairns holiday (last week) prebooked Tjapukai
concert and show then walk 200 metres to Skyrail terminal walk around
Kuranda and return by Rail.We had lunch (Pie and Sausage roll) at Tjapukai
for lunch and afternoon tea Kuranda. Markets there are on Sundays..
Tjapukai well worth the visit and show. Skyrail you need not book but a
must for train which leaves Kuranda (3 Trains) afternoons one hour apart.
Go down by train, sit on left side though seats are oriented that way
(corridor on right). This is beaut day out. Think total cost was about
$85. Skyrail is a must, is in 3 sections. Take camera. Next week when my
fotos are back I will put a few shots on this group, JPEG.
stay warm
