A few random shots of Kuranda before we move on to Sidney:
White bird
The white bird you see above was only one of many birds that live in this area (rain forest in Australia). He was not restrained in any way. He was free to come and go as he wished although there were food and water dishes available for him to come enjoy.
Color in the middle of the jungle.
This tree is supposed to be 75 years old!
Rough Road Ahead!
One of the things Tony had planned was for us to go on a tour of the rainforest on one of those amphibious vehicles which this place called “Army Ducks”. It goes on both land and sea. We climbed all over the hills then went down to the river and into to it. The photo above shows the road we were about to go on from the water. It was, needless to say, a bumpy ride!
Lush Land
As you can see in the photo immediately above, the land is very lush and colorful. The skies are bluest blue. The sounds are those of birds calling out to each other, the jumping of kangaroos, splashing of crocodiles in to the water, and because there was an indigenous interpretive center adjacent to this area, there were also sounds of didjeridu and drums. It was more than enough to make us want to stay a lot longer!
