Rainforest- Cairns Day Four

Today was my last full day in Cairns. I began with another early morning, waking up at 7:00AM. We began the day at Lake Barrine Teahouse. I had a wonderful scone with strawberry jam. We then took a small cruise and saw turtles, 3 pythons, eels, and ducks. Next we worked out way to see a curtain fig tree which was beautiful. We also saw the most amazing spider there- she’s now my hero! She seduced her lovers and then after she gets pregnant, she eats them- talk about a man-eater. We then went to Milla Milla Falls and saw a spectacular waterfall. Next we got lunch which was fantastic tour food- fish and chips AND apple crumble with ice cream!! There we saw the Mungalli Falls. Next we went to the Mamu Rainforest Canopy Walkway where we could see almost everything around- I got some pretty good pictures. Finally, we went to Paronella Park which was beautiful. A Spanish immigrant built a Castle for his family and friends which sat right beside a huge waterfall. Most of the castle burned down or was washed away by floods. It was incredibly beautiful but also haunting. I LOVED my time in Cairns---and don’t want to go back to Melbourne 
