Wednesday Aug 5, 2009 with more pictures





The above pictures are from our trip to Kuranda. We actually rode in these skyrail cable gondolas up and then on the train back. The falls are what I referred to yesterday as Barron Falls.

This morning we slept in ...something we haven't done in quite awhile. We made breakfast in our hotel apartment and then went out to walk the boardwalk. When we first started out it was a little cool but boy did it warm up quick. We then went to make reservations for our excursion tomorrow. The Great Barrier Reef awaits our arrival tomorrow.


We then walked more of the boardwalk and saw some of the sights. One area, rather large, is a bog rather than a beach. Next to it is a huge swimming area, (actually a pool) but it is partly sand and then the rest is concrete. As we walked further down we came across an area called Muddy Park a play area for children.
Since we were both getting hungry we walked a little further and went to PJ O'Brien's Irish Pub for lunch. Lunch comes with a beverage - beer, wine or soft drink. The beer was a pint but if ordered a softdrink you were lucky if it was 8 oz. But the food and price were excellent. We are heading back to relax on our balcony but found this internet cafe to stop and try to download the pictures. Success. We did try at the tour desk this morning but no luck..too slow.

Have a great day and hopefully you are as warm as we are. It is gorgeous out.
