The wet tropical rainforest was the last bit of the journey and Marjo left in the meantime back to Amsterdam. During my final days in Cairns I took the Kuranda Scenic Railway from Cairns to the rainforest village Kuranda. I was lucky that I had a free upgrade to gold class and my own carriage, just because the staff liked me, haha! At least I had the privilege to take some great shots while I was enjoying the train journey. The town itself is packed with eco friendly locals, market stalls in the rainforest and some good hiking trails in the jungle that leads to waterfalls and gorges.
Time flew unfortunately and the delayed rainy season showed signs to start up. I had to cancel my trip to the Great Barrier reef and Undara Volcanic NP as well the trip to Cape York. The latter is only accessible during the dry season and for snorkeling the dry season is also better. At least this gives me enough reason to come back to Cairns and travel these final bits.
C ya mates!
