22 (41) Skyrail, near Cairns

commencing at 8:30am till 4:00pm. The whole trips last and hour
and a half one-way with twenty minutes at each station. Like who
you are with is my advice.
23 (42) The Barron Falls Lookout walk
Near Kuranda you’ll find the impressive Barron Falls, The
Barron Falls (Din Din) lookout walk is only 600m long and highly
rewarding for such little effort. The walk begins with an elevated
boardwalk traversing the rainforest, which then winds its way down
the hill past several lookout points to the railway platform.
The Barron Falls (Din Din) Lookout walk
The Barron Falls (Din Din) Lookout walk is relatively easy to do
and is a wonderful way to view these huge falls.
Be warned that in the rainy season a cloud of mist may obscure
the view of the falls.
