August 12 - Skyrail Cairns


We took the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway from Cairns to Kuranda. It took us over Australia’s World Heritage listed Tropical Rainforest canopy and deep into the forest. The ride spans 7.5kms over the rainforest. The cablecar was just metres above the rainforest canopy. It was pretty amazing to be at the height of these massive trees. We enjoyed the rainforest scenery, panoramic views of Cairns' tropical region and the views of the Coral Sea. There were two rainforest mid-stations on the ride up where we got out and had a chance to explore the same environment from the forest floor on boardwalks and scenic look-outs.
