The Elusive Cairns Picture Post!

I'm gonna go ahead and post these because my computer is being funny and not loading more... I'll keep trying though! This is the second half of my Cairns trip. :)
This one above is a view of the tress looking upwards on one of the stops on the skyrail!
Some interesting facts :)

Views from the Skyrail.




They take a cheesy photo at the end... I was facing the wrong way... :D


These trees remind me of LOOOSSSTTT!!!!! Like the ones they hide in from the smoke monster.

Kuranda was very touristy, but in the best of ways!


yum yum.
This guy played didgeridoo really well! I made a video, I'll put it up.

This candy shop smelled soooooooo good.


At the wildlife center!


Wallabies!! And a baby!! Awweee

Lazy kangaroos. (My soon-to-be best friends).



AHHHHH LOOK!!!!! They loved me. I am the Kangaroo Whisperer.




HOLDING A KOALA. NO BIG DEAL.




Heh heh. I made a video of this one eating. I'll put that up too.



And Birdworld! This was weirdly fun.

Birds Just hangin out with people.



Cassowary!!! The world's biggest bird, I think.


This one spoke, it was very cute. :) It would say "Herlo!"


This one wanted to kill me... :/

It's saying "HAY NEW BEST FRIEND LET ME EAT YOUR HAIR!!"

But I liked him in the end, he was very sweet. I think if I were to name him, I would name him something like Barry or Koo Koo Ka Choo, KooKoo for short.


"HEY THERE!"

Awww, bye Barry!


Ew. These are real frogs. Just dead.

And we had some time, so we went back to see the koalas and kangaroos.


Here's the front of the train, the pretty part.


My stamp. :)


The train ride was only ok because of my limited views from the very middle seat.

Here's Palm Cove!

Uhhh...... no thank you.





They put their chocolate in fridges in Cairns because it's too hot to just leave it out!

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuum







AWWWW THE CHARLIE DOG!!!! (I wanted to steal him. Shh don't tell!)

And that was Cairns!
