Kuranda Village, Army Duck Tour with Train and Skyrail (KDB)
Army Duck Tour is the highlight!
High light is the Army Duck Tour, the guide Shauno is so funny, very informative, and saw some animals in a mini zoo, great scenery on cable car, and enjoy delicious lunch in a Thai food restaurant, just a bit long ride on train. Recommended!
