Above is a view from the skyrail that we got from Cairns to Karunda, a village in the mountains.
We visited the fantastic Australian Butterfly Sanctuary where the friendly butterflies land on you. This is the stunning Ulysses Butterfly.
We also visited Bird World and below are photos of a metallic starling before and after fluffing himself up.
Here's Nic being attacked by a parrot that took a liking to the toggle on his hat.
Here's us with Hogan at the Koala Gardens in Karunda. He smelt of eucalyptus. Below is me with some sort of snake.
We went on the scenic railway to get back to Cairns. Some bloke decided to ruin our photo!
We had a fantastic day.
On the way to Cairns from Townsville we visited Mission Beach and hoped we would see a Cassowary bird.
And we did - hurray! They are huge - the size of an emu.
Here is some of the stunning rainforest seen around this area.
Whilst out walking we saw this sleepy scrub or amethystine Python.
This is a 6km long jetty in Lucinda used for shipping sugar cane - there are miles and miles of sugar cane plantations all along the coast.
