On our second day in Cairns, we went on an expedition to the rainforest to see a village called Kuranda (which literally means "village in the rainforest" in the aboriginal language). We rode the skyrail up the mountain to the village and at the midway point we were able to have a tour of the rainforest with a guide. It was so interesting, except when the guide talked about the giant python that lived under the boardwalk! After I had a complete meltdown he told me that pythons don't move around very much in the winter!
Once we got to the village, we were able to see (and hold) koalas! They are so cuddly and I had to resist the urge to squeeze them!
The village was really charming with lots of cute shops and restaurants. After some free time, we took a vintage train back down the mountain which was a lot of fun.
It was another amazing day in Australia!
Those koalas!!! So adorable.
