Andrew picked us up and gave us a good commentary on the way to Freshwater Station to board the Kuranda Railway train. We enjoyed the long slow ride up to Kuranda and the scenery was enjoyable. Unfortunately the Skyrail is not operating at the moment due to COVID so we returned by coach, Andrew had recommended a cafe at Kuranda village which we enjoyed and we also went to the Butterfly Santuary 🦋. We met Andrew at the given time to start our descent back to Cairns, I had mentioned to him that I get motion sickness and we was kind enough to drive slowly around the windy road which I appreciated. Andrew Ian full of knowledge and a credit to the company’s he works for. He was friendly and gave us lots of information about the area.…
