This trip has everything to offer to those who want the rainforest experience. Exploring the majestic and ancient Australian rainforest with its indigenous fauna and flora while being driven in an actual army duck. Our driver was very amusing and gave interesting commentary throughout.
The little zoo enclosure is great fun, I especially loved Juliet the wombat and there are a couple of tame wallabies too that provide a great photo opportunity for a close up with them.
Our Dreamtime guide enthralled us with their didgeridoo blowing ( my favourite of the day) and spear throwing demonstrations. We all had a go throwing a boomerang and after watched the mesmerising storytelling Pamagirri dancers.
Our host Geoff picked us up and drove us to Kuranda village where we spent a the afternoon in the heritage and the hippy markets and popped into the Butterfly Sanctuary and Bird World.
After a brilliant day out, Geoff was back again to drop us off at an our hotel. He is very witty and pointed out local places of interest on the way back.
