Sky Rail

After a few days of overcast and rain, it finally cleared up. So we decided to take the Sky Rail up the mountain to the small town of Kuranda. First we stopped by the beach at Yorkey's Knob. Which is inbetween Cairns and Trinity Beach.

It takes about 25 minutes to ride the sky rail from Cairns to Kuranda, making 2 stops so you can get out and do a short tour thru the rain forest.

The second stop on the sky rail is at Barron Falls

Mick met us with the car once we got to Kuranda and we hit some shops and the pub.

On the way home we stopped at Tichum Creek Coffee Farm which is close to the town of Mareeba. They serve a mean cup of coffee. One of the best I have ever had. Its a family run businees where they grow their own coffee beans and sell the coffee.
Just as we were heading down the mountain the clouds and the rain were moving in.
