Kuranda

 Its up in the hills from Cairns, very windy road to get there or there is the train or cable car, called sky rail.

We visited a few years ago by bus from Pt Douglas, started working out exactly when, still not sure but I was still working as a public servant. I retired from PS in 1996 so at least 25 years since we were last there.

Sky rail wasnt an option then. Not really me, being suspended metres up on a flipping cable but I knew Warren was keen so I gritted my teeth and said yes.

Warren suggestted it would be better to go up by cable car and down by train.

This is the take off, six to a car but we had one to ourselves. It rumbled or shuddered a bit everytime we past a pole. I wasnt that keen on that even though I knew that it was going to happen. Besides the start there were two other stations where we needed to get out, walk a little and then rejoin. Took about 40 minutes all up. The rain forest when we git out was incredible and great scenery.
