Traveling Over the Canopy

Today, our last official day on the Road Scholar tour, we visited Australia's rainforest, a richtucked along the northeast coast of Queensland. We started high on mountain slopes in Kurunda Village. The butterfly aviary took our breath away. We then caught the gondola downhill, moving swiftly over the lush canopy of trees, alert to all the living species residing there. We ended in an Aboriginal Cultural Center, hearing digeridos, learning about bush medicine, trying our hands at spear throwing (unsuccessfully) and boomerangs (semi-successfully)!
