In September 2013, we met Paul and Ella (brother and sister-in-law) in Cairns to experience the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest.  Such a beautiful area.

While we were there we took the cable car up the mountain to the town of Kuranda, and  enjoyed the local wildlife.

After that week in Palm Cove, we drove north to Port Douglas, then on into the Daintree Rainforest were we stayed three nights at the Daintree Village BnB, high on a bluff overlooking the Daintree River.
