We ended our time in Australia much in the same way we started: a day jam-packed with activities.
We started the day by taking the Sky Rail across the top of the rain forest. Looking down on the canopy was breath-taking, and we were able to make a couple of stops along the way to explore the rain forest a little bit. It sure was high up there. We had a few discussions in the gondola car as to how difficult it must have been to build the gondola system, and what a pain it must be to maintain it. Not a job I would want to have!
We spent the rest of the day at the RainForeStation. It provided us with an abundance of activities and experiences. We were able to watch traditional Aboriginal dances, throw a boomarang, feed kangaroos, ride in an Army duck, and do some bush dances. We also got to hold a koala. She was so cute!
There was a duo playing music for us during dinner, and then after dinner the delegates joined in the singing and dancing. We had a rousing rendition of “Among the Gum Trees.” Then, before we knew it, it was over and we were on our way back to the hotel and to bed before the 2:30 wake up call to leave.
