Day 7 -- Australia and Singapore Trip

07/05/2018 Thursday

Itinerary:
  • Breakfast at hotel
  • Grand Kuranda Experience
  • Dinner at Mai Sai Pak Chee Thai Restaurant
  • Grocery shopping at Woolworths
We had a quick breakfast at the hotel before heading out for the Grand Kuranda Tour. The tour bus picked us up in front of the hotel and we had to pick up other guests on the way before we head to Kuranda. The Grand Experience includes the train and skyrail ride to the village and all the activities there as well.


















On the way, we stopped by Barron Falls to check out the waterfalls before continuing on the journey to Kuranda Village.




















We reached the village and went straight to the butterfly sanctuary as our tour is waiting for us.




















After spending about 45 minutes there, we took the bus to the restaurant for lunch. It was an all you can eat buffet. We tried kangaroo meat for our first time and it tasted very tough, similar to beef.










After lunch, we were told that we can go and take pictures with the koala if we like for a surcharge of AUD$24. It's my first time holding a koala and the fur felt pretty rough, not smooth as I imagined.


After the picture, we went to our next tour which is the Army ducks.












Then we stopped by to see the performance of the natives.












Next we went to feed the kangaroos. We bought some kangaroos food for AUD $2 and it was plenty of food.








After that, we went for the skyrail cable to head back to our bus.



















After the bus ride to our hotel, we went for dinner at a Thai Restaurant. It's one of the best Thai food that I have tasted.







After a fulfilling dinner, we went to the nearby grocery place (Woolworths) to buy some fruits before calling it a day as we have another full day tomorrow. If you look at the prices, you can tell that it's quite expensive in Australia. Exchange rate during this time is US $1 = AUD $1.25. Also, some places charge a 2% fee for using credit card.
