We leave the campground right after breakfast for a short trip back to Cairns. Initially the plan was to go to the Cairns Tropical Zoo first and do the SkyRail after. We adhoc decide to skip the zoo and just go for the Cableway (http://www.skyrail.com.au/). SkyRail is a 7,5km cable way over the rainforest.
From their website:
"Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, Cairns Australia, is a world first in environmental tourism taking you on an amazing experience over Australia’s World Heritage listed Tropical Rainforest canopy and deep into the forest.
The Skyrail experience, spanning 7.5kms over pristine rainforest, allows you to explore the wonders of an ancient tropical rainforest and learn about one of the most botanically fascinating and diverse areas on earth.
Gliding just metres above the rainforest canopy in comfortable six-person gondola cabins, the Skyrail journey immerses you in an intimate rainforest experience where you’ll see, hear, smell and become part of the tropical rainforest environment."
We all enjoyed the day over the rainforest. We took impressive views of the landscape. We had a stunning view on the hugh Barron falls and glided over the large Barron river.
At the top station in Kuranga we took a break. At first we went to the train station and the kids were invited onto the locomotion.
At the historic Barron Hotel & Bar we had our lunch before we took the cableway back to Cairns.
From the cabin one has a far reaching view over the Cairns costline with the mountains in the background.
On our way back to the campground in Port Douglas we enjoyed a refreshing bath in the Pacific Ocean at Ellis Beach.
This is a wonderful beach and very quiet in winter - in summer it will certainly get much more busy here!
So while writing this blog entry we are sitting on the beach, listening to the waves and waiting for the sunset.
