Descent

~~~~~

 A few years ago, while Cairns, we decided to…skyrail_4688

take a trip  on the Skyrail, to Kuranda village on the Cairns’ Tablelands.

On and on we ascended the tablelands…

A pleasant few hours in Kuranda village and it was time to return to Cairns.

Up and over and…

Well worth a visit should you be in the Cairns area.
