Skyrail Rangers

Since moving to Tropical North Queensland in 2020, I’ve been blown away by the diversity of flora and fauna in this area, and I am so grateful I get to work amongst it every day.

I have always loved being outdoors and have always been fascinated by nature. After graduating school, I decided to study science. Everyday working at Skyrail I am alongside like-minded people who adore and respect this area as much as I do.

My favourite part of Red Peak station is the weird and wonderful mushrooms that pop out of the soil after a heavy downpour.

Come and visit me at Red Peak for a tour of the ancient rainforest.

I am an expat from Austria and I found my paradise in Cairns, Australia. I am an avid landscape photographer and spend most of my time in the outdoors.

I love that my workplace is one of the most amazing eco-systems in the world (with some of the best views to match!) and I enjoy unveiling the fascinating history and mysterious stories of this magnificent rainforest with you.

Tropical rainforest is nature at its best and my favourite part of the ranger tour is when I see your enhanced appreciation of this incredible living green museum.

I am from south coast NSW and have grown up with remote Australia as my backyard. Fishing and camping with friends and family. This led me to being passionate about conserving our countries natural environment, and trying to keep Australia as beautiful as I found it, as a child.

My favourite part of being a Skyrail Ranger is that every day I learn something new about the ancient rainforest and then I get to share that knowledge with our guests.

My hope, is that every person who comes along on my tour leaves knowing something new about the wet tropics world heritage area.

I am fluent in English, Japanese and Chinese and am a very passionate Skyrail Ranger. I am lucky because there are not too many jobs in the world where your ‘office’ is world heritage protected tropical rainforest.

My favourite part of the ranger guided tour is imparting our knowledge about the Basket Fern.  It’s an amazing story of how fascinating the rainforest is, as it’s more than just a plant but its own mini eco-system.

I would love to tell you many fascinating rainforest stories on a ranger guided tour with me at Red Peak!

Originally from Japan, I have lived in Cairns for over 20 years. I love sharing stories about the beautiful tropical rainforest, especially the remarkable diversity of flora and fauna that can be seen at Red Peak.

My favourite rainforest creature is either the Southern Cassowary, an impressive dinosaur bird that saunters through the rainforest undergrowth, or the delicate Ulysses Butterfly, its striking blue colour standing out as it flutters through the tropical green rainforest.

I look forward to sharing more about these rainforest inhabitants with you on a ranger guided tour at Red Peak!

I have always had a great desire to work within nature, I have been very fortunate to live in Far North Queensland where two natural World Heritage areas meet. After spending almost 10 years working All over the great barrier reef as a dive instructor, underwater photographer and commercial diver I decided it was time to experience life in the world’s oldest surviving tropical rainforest.

There is so much to learn and see in this unique eco system from prehistoric cassowaries to ancient plants and trees, I look forward to seeing you on the boardwalks for a guided tour through this dense and diverse tropical rainforest.

A true blue aussie by trade with a passion for the flora and fauna of Australia. I came to Cairns on a holiday and fell in love with the wildness of the Tropical North Queensland region. I returned to finish my study and then relocated to Cairns shortly after.

Skyrail is a spectacular way to see and explore the ancient tropical rainforest. Working here has me constantly pinching myself, especially when I find myself face to face with territorial cassowary’s or 5-meter scrub pythons in the bush.

Join me on a tour in the most prehistoric and biodiverse tropical rainforest on Earth.

I am a Zoologist from Victoria, with a passion for fauna and adventure. I previously worked in the Amazon Rainforest as a researcher but have relocated to Cairns to now work within the oldest surviving Rainforest on the Planet.

As a Skyrail ranger, my focus is now on education, preservation and enhancement, I hope to play my part in promoting positive change in cultural perception of the Rainforest and environmental importance.

I will be looking forward to learning alongside our guests as we take this journey together.
