Skyrail
Since we took the train to Kuranda Village, we decided to go back by Skyrail, which is an amazing way to get a birds-eye-view of the rainforest.
Tjapukai Aboriginal Center
Near the Skyrail station is the Tjapukai Aboriginal Center. We learned how to throw a boomerang and a traditional hunting spear.
I think I impressed the staff with my spear throwing ability. Using the woomera, my spear actually went directly over the farthest target, barely grazing the top of the hay bale.
So, all in all, a very full day with lot of great memories.
