Here’s the photos for Day 14. Yesterday was all about a rain forest and butterflies. So that’s what you’ll see.
Getting ready to jump on the SkyRail
I’m in!
So am I!
It’s raining … in the rain forest.
Getting high
Misty views
First impressions of the rainforest
Spooky
Looking back to the East (Pacific Ocean in the distance)
Clouds over the canopy
Beautiful Green
Disappearing into the void
A Walk in the woods
One of the tall(est) trees
These ferns do not harm the tree they grow on
Still wet & rainy
Spring-like
Walkways through the rain forest
Gondola approaching!
… and leaving!
Different leaves
Rain drops keep falling on my head …
What a view!
A moment in time
Going down!
Over the rain forest
Tree tops
Into the bushes …
Spooky again
Much more green!
Flying over the canopy
Incredible views
Hehe
Still misty
Some areas are clearing up a bit
Look closely: Barron Falls are emerging from the mist!
Walking towards the falls lookout
The lower dam
Barron Falls
More water down the falls
Looking across to the power station
The Barron River

Honey, I’m home!
Same here!

Tons of little flutter-bys
Trying to hide.
Three in a row.
Iiiiiiiiihhhhhh! It’s touching my camera!

Approach
Hiding the bright blue
Pretty slim
even from the back side
Pretty
Hungry
Lunch time!
Landing
The usual lunch crowd
resting on a branch
Waiting to take off
In motion
Spreading its wings
Moving wings individually from each other
Threesome! Woo woo!
Pretty boy
Looking a bit angry, mate?
Trying to blend in
More in flight entertainment
Testing the grounds
The Hercules Moth – still in caterpillar stage
I see orange!
Nice
Crawley creatures!
Sauerkraut! (and Weisswurst)
Kaeseknacker! (und Brot!)
Mmmm.
Austria vs. Australia – clearly a difference (in flags, at least!)
Turning purple
Taking the train? Not this time …
Artfully decorated
The 4 stations of the SkyRail
Over the Barron River

All smiles & knees!
Tree tops
More trees!
Clouds are pulling away
Wild cockatoos in the rain forest
Over the rain forest canopy
Hmmm … where to go!?
Approaching the end of our excursion
Overlooking the area north of Cairns
Coming down the mountain
Poor litttle 1/2″ frogs getting squished all over the place.
The loo.
The common area of our room.
The bed.
Our view from the Sydney Marriott (over Kings Cross).
