Barron Falls

This past week we have been continuing on the job hunt. We have both applied for numerous jobs and Dave has been working hard to get his name out in the fishing community. We have settled into our apartment and are enjoying the area. Our apartment complex is located right next to the Cairns Botanical Gardens which has loads of trails and paths to explore. We have been trying to get out and walk or bike the area as often as we can for both exercise and knowledge of the area.
The day we moved into our apartment we went out exploring in the rental car we had gotten for the day. After shopping for linens  , groceries, cleaning supplies, bathroom necessities, etc., we didn't have a ton of time left in the day, but we figured we should make the most of having a car. We drove about 30 minutes to the small town of Kuranda. Its a neat little tourist town that a train from Cairns runs to. Also a sky rail from just north of Cairns goes up the mountains into Kuranda. We didn't do either of those, but we did go to Barron Falls. This waterfall is super tall but doesn't have a ton of water running over it since its the dry season. It will be cool to go back in the wet season and see the falls gushing with water. The river apparently rises an incredible amount and the width of the falls widens. We'll have to make a trip back in a few months!
