Day 24



Awesome day today!  Took the train to Kuranda - a little village up in the rainforest.  300 or so metres high, over 55 bridges, through 15 tunnels, past waterfalls - was pretty amazing.  Went to the butterfly sanctuary which was magical.  Hundreds of the biggest, brightest butterflies I've ever seen flying around us.  The looks on the kids' faces when they landed on them was just gorgeous.  Then to the Koala Gardens and fed the kangaroos and wallabies, saw the crocs and lizards and snakes.  Finally off to Bird World where a really big macaw took a shine to Ian, the kids fed some birds, and I got pooped on....twice!!!  To cap it all off, we came down the mountain on the skyrail, and then a bus back to the train station.

The caravan park had outdoor movie night tonight so we had fish and chips for tea and then went and sat on the blanket and watched 'Baby's Day Out'.  Fantastic day!!!
