Kuranda

The next morning (also our last morning.... tear...) we headed out for the last group outing - which was up the the village of Kuranda, in the hills above Cairnes. To get there we took a skyrail (think Gondola) ride up the side of mountain and over the rainforest above. It took almost forty minutes - but it also showed us a lot of the rainforest and gave us a chance to take some really great photos.

In Kuranda we got the chance to eat lunch, explore some shops, and see a butterfly sanctuary that had thousands of butterflies. We got to see some really brilliant colors and take some equally brilliant photos of the butterflies.

On the way down from Kuranda, we stopped at a little roadside pullover to take our final group photo before heading to the airport to drop some of our group off. Then we headed back into town and said goodbye to Adam, Hewen, and Eliza.

We weren’t too bummed though, because most people were staying in Cairnes at least one extra night before heading out. So we planned to all get together on our own for a last dinner and night out, which we were all looking forward too. Once more night in Cairnes....

...or so we thought (du dun dah!)
