Road Trip - Airlie Beach Day 9

Airlie Beach is so lovely - very laid back and not as touristy as we thought it would be!  We spent the morning driving around to look at the views and even went to Shute Harbour (where the shipping terminals are).

Road Trip Cairns - Day 7

Today's adventure was taking the Kuranda Scenic Railway to Kuranda - Clay was most excited for this adventure :)  We caught the train from Cairns Central Station. There was lots of historical commentary as we travelled along and they advised it was a 37 kilometres journey that climbs 327 metres, crossing 55 bridges and passes through 15 tunnels.

A 10 minute stop at Barron Falls to hop off the train to take photos.

Lunch amd then wandered around the village and brought souvenirs.

Back on the train for our return trip.
