Yesterday, May 12, we made our way from Brisbane to Cairns. Our flight got delayed but we ended up making it to Cairns nice and safe. Last night some of us got to explore around Cairns a little and do a little shopping. Today we went to Kuranda village and took the skyrail (a gondola) which took us on a ride above the rainforest. After the skyrail trip we went to Tjapukai which is an Aboriginal Cultural Park. We all got the chance to throw a boomerang and a spear. If you throw a boomerang correctly it should return to you....needless to say I didn't throw it like a professional and my throw was more like as if I was playing a game of horseshoes. It was definitely a neat experience to learn more about the Aboriginal culture and the way the indigenous people live in Australia.
