    Met my daughter who is living in Tully. Drove into the Daintree National Park. Saw many beaches and waterfalls. Saw the wild life (birds, roos, crocs etc) Rode on the train to Kuranda and back on the cable car. Went down the Tully river white water rafting.

    All went very well from Cairns to my drive to Cape Tribulation and back. Just a big disappointment that Skydive Australia had to cancel my tandem jump on my last day because of inclement weather. This was sad 😪

    Loved Skyrail, The Crystal Caves, Koala Park and Hartley's Crocodile Farm. I would recommend Reeftrippers for a great small experience at seeing the Great Barrier Reef, they were amazing.
