Cairns and Queensland Recovery from Jasper

[gdlamberth]

I understand that the residents, businesses, and environment of North Queensland and Cairns have suffered significantly from Cyclone Jasper.  We will be in Cairns late next month (31 Jan-5 Feb) and are interested in status of tourist related operations (Kuranda Railway, Daintree Rainforest, Green Island, GBR dives, Flying Foxes in downtown Cairns, etc.).   Any updates would be greatly appreciated.

From the Kuranda Scenic Railway in red at top of webpage - the railway is not running until February 11th -  Kuranda Scenic Railway

The Daintree - Due to impacts from ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper, national parks and protected areas in the Daintree area are temporarily closed until further notice - Daintree Rainforest

 

GRB excursions and Green Island are all operating as normal.

Perhaps the Tourist Information Centre isn't back up running yet after Jasper. Or the centre is extremely busy answering queries.

With the holidays and all, I'm not even expecting a response until middle/end of next week.
