More in Cairns
Next day was a beautiful day, so we took a train ride up into the rain forest.
A village was at the top and a cable car back down. The village was entirely populated with native Australians. They welcomed us warmly as we walked around.
Then, suddenly, it rained torrents. Soaked, we went into a shop and bought plastic coats and umbrellas.
Coming out, ready for anything, it had stopped raining! We explored more. Then it rained torrents again!
When we had seen enough, we took a great ride back down in a cable car high over the tree tops.

Purely coincidental. As I said, to the best of my ability all these travels are genuine. This one in Australia started in Perth, flew to Uluru, sunrise over the rock, kangaroo steaks … on to Alice - where I bought - and still have - an Australian native’s painting - plus a photograph of him and Agnes, then on to Cairns and home.
