Port Douglas, Australia

Monsoon alert in Northern Queensland! Not really, but it is the wettest May in history and it IS the dry season!? What else to do in the rain but visit another rainforest. We took the sky rail yesterday from Kuranda back down to Cairns. A frightful yet beautiful 7.5 kms through bush, forest and mountains to the Coral Sea. We stopped for lunch and the Aussie fare offered was Kangaroo meat pie, Crocodile sausage & chips, along with fish & chips. I wimped out with the fish. Caught a glimpse of several wallaby grazing on the way back up the coast to Port Douglas. Today we will truck on with skies forecasted to clear in the next day or two. Wishing I had room in my bag for gumboots...
