First am trip was to mossman Gorge where a native toured our gro of 15 thru the rainforest and described the culture of the aboriginal tribes. Saw red cedar, rubber, plenty of sugar cane, pineapples and endless new experiences. Saw a birdwing butterfly which was huge.
In mid afternoon visited the animal habitat where I saw plenty of kangaroos and experienced a huge rainstorm thunder lightening and all.
Have crashed since returning and now preparing for today's adventures.
Actually ate a hamburger in my room last night! Got to do laundry and ready for next portion of trip.
