Kuranda

My last day in Australia was spent in Kuranda, which is an artsy town located in the rainforest.

To get there, I took the Kuranda Scenic Railway, which I thoroughly enjoyed. We passed waterfalls and scenic views on a beautiful old train. I walked around the town and ate some lunch. Then took the Skyrail, essentially an enclosed ski lift, over the canopy of the rainforest.

I ended the day at Tjakupai Culture Park, where I learned about the aboriginal people, tried spear throwing, and boomerang throwing. I listened to the digerdoo played. I was scheduled to do another rainforest tour, but opted for Tjakupai Culture Park, which was probably a good thing, being that at all the little stations at Kuranda and the Skyrail Park, I answered EVERY rainforest question correctly! However, I knew nothing about the indigenous people. For the record, I am only at risk at harming myself, than any living being with a boomerang in my hand! :-)
