Cairns' Northern Beaches & Kuranda 15/5

We took a day trip out to see some of the local area. Despite not having a beach in the city Cairns' northern coast has some amazing beaches. This is Clifton Beach. We also visited Kewarra Beach, Trinity Beach and Yorkeys Knob.



Despite the beautiful beaches the seas hold many dangers.



Next we drove up into the Atherton Tablelands to Kuranda. We went a walk in the rainforest.



We saw some familiar faces hanging in the trees, a Golden Orb Web Spider. Only a few days earlier David had found a dangerous Redback spider had spun a web under our caravan. Although we are now out of the outback there are still dangers around every corner.



Our walk took us to Barron Falls.




We had visited the area previously over 6 years ago when we took trips on the railway and the Skyrail cablecar.



We browsed around the Kuranda shops and markets after lunch. We also visited the attactive Railway Station where the Kuranda Scenic Railway runs to and from.
