We did the ride across--Now we are to take the train down into the valley. This is the path of the old coal miners and it is steep! Kait and Sam are both a bit nervous! We leave the terminal and head down a steep grade between some rock.
This is our view as we begin our quick descent. John guesses it was about a 70 degree grade as we dropped down. It went fairly quick and was exciting as we "flew" past the trees and ferns.
In the valley, we walk through some old coal mining stations and equipment and then through the beautiful rainforest of large ferns and fig and turpentine trees. An elevated walkway keeps the forest fairly undisturbed by the trekking. John took this to prove that I am really on this trip. I end up taking most of the photos so there are few with me in them. We had an easy 30 minute walk to the cableway straight up!
This is the view as we board and begin to ascend to the top!
