On Saturday, we got an early start and headed over to the train station in Carins. We took the scenic train 2 h9ours up the mountainside to a little town in the rainforest region called Karunda. There were some great views on the way up, including some waterfalls. It was not yet the rainy season, so there wasn't actually any rain in the rainforest, but the forest was thick and views were fantastic.
We spent the day in Karunda which included visiting a small animal park and taking some mini-hikes along the rainforest.
At the animal park, we were able to get up close to the animals and were able to actually hold the koalas (for a price) and feed the kangaroos and wallabies (for no extra price). We had lunch in town and then headed back down the mountain on the cable car. This was a 7.5 mile journey along the treetops of the rainforest which provided great views in all directions.
