Relaxing train up was interesting with the Barron falls view was spectacular The markets and Kulandra gift shops had a vast array of reasonably priced and decent stuff. The butterfly house was worth a visit. Queues for coffees & food were small. The cable car trip back was beautiful with amazing rainforest canopy views.
Gold class was really very comfortable.Staff were excellent.
