Kuranda, Cairns

Kuranda is a quaint wee market town just NE of Cairns. We spent Saturday morning there, didn’t buy anything (a bit of a disappointing effort, but I blatantly have no room to carry anymore stuff anyway!)Barron Falls were really spectacular, well worth the visit. Then we tried to find a couple of trails in another section of Barron Gorge National Park...which took a while. I ended up hiking/running a circuit which had some great views over Barron Gorge and out to Cairns. Really enjoyed it but it took way longer than I expected. Check out the one good deal I saw in Kuranda: :)





Went into Cairns for our last night on the East Coast, and after walking down to the Esplanade, we had a fantastic meal out at a traditional Aussie restaurant called “Dundee’s”. We shared a mixed meat main of kangaroo steak, crocodile kebab, buffalo & emu sausage, and a seafood platter of barramundi fillet (type of fish, delicious!), garlic prawns, octopus, lobster, and scallops. Really excellent food, and quite the feast!

Spent Sunday morning packing our stuff and cleaning out the van – quite sad to say “bye” to our home of the last 7 weeks. Its been so much fun to travel in, and we’ve become quite attached to it! Since picking it up in Melbourne I traveled 9,389km in it...:)
