Best Semester Abroad Ambassadors explore the rainforest

Four of the Cairns Best Semester Abroad Ambassadors recently took a day trip with the CaPTA Group and Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, experiencing what it’s like to be a tourist or an international student between classes in Cairns.

From the photos they shared it’s fair to say that Jocelyn, Anshisa, Luca and Shimon had a pretty amazing time!

At Rainforestation they boarded an amphibious World War II Army Duck for a tour on both land and water through the rainforest. Then they enjoyed traditional dances at the Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience, along with boomerang throwing and didgeridoo playing.

Who could resist the uber cute animals like koalas and kangaroos along with other iconic Australian animals (helloooo Tasmanian Devil) in the Koala and Wildlife Park.

Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is an unforgettable journey over and through World Heritage listed Tropical Rainforests, in the Barron Gorge National Park just a short drive west of Cairns. The cableway spans almost 8 km and offers a birds eye view of the rainforest canopy from gondola cabins suspended on a cableway. The views over Cairns and the islands of the Great Barrier Reef are pretty special too!

Barron Falls in flood is quite the drama Queen, with its sheer drop and misty spray creating rainbows that hover above the rainforest. Yep, the wet season is a good time to soar above these majestic falls when they’re at their very best.
