The day before yesterday, I hopped on a cable car to take me over the rainforest and into Kuranda.The cable car or SkyRail as it wants to be known is quite a picturesque ride and allows you to see just how vast this forest landscape really is. But at the end of the day, the green gets a little repetitive...Kuranda itself was a let down. It's a good job we didn't get our butts outta bed and into the car before midday.

Over the 3 day trip, we were lucky on the weather front as it only rained on the first night, which is surprising as the island is home to a large Rainforest. We set off with the with the group from our hostel at around 10:30 to catch the 11am ferry over to Fraser.
