This is the LAST posting of photos from when the family was here, I promise. These are from the day we went to Kuranda, which is this crazy hippy village up in the mountains. The whole 'town' was founded on tourism, but instead of making their own goods they're almost entirely shipped in from China and southern Asian countries. It's a bunch of old, tie-dyed people selling you weird stuff, although I think I might go back to buy a hat that I was told (wink wink) was handmade by the woman's husband. The hat was cute!
We took the Kuranda Scenic Railway up the mountain, which was nice and slow and had some lovely views. I'm not sure it was worth the price, but we got a bit of history and some sitting-down time, so that was good.

| So what if it's made for kids? It's cheesy and we like it! |
 |
| She looks... scared? |
 |
| At least somebody's excited! |
 |
| This is the real train. |
 |
| Look! It's been going for 120 years! |
 |
| Not pictured: the Japanese tourists sitting across from us. :) |
 |
| It's a long train. |
 |
| "Please keep all body parts and belongings inside the train at all times." NO! I REFUSE! |
 |
| Still on the train! |
 |
| Oh look, we got the logo in this one. |
There was nothing photoworthy in town, but we did wander around taking photos for a bit before getting onto the Skyrail.
