Answer 1

Keep in mind that the rainforest is EXACTLY the same - http://www.wettropics.gov.au/map/map_default.html

Skyrail is a totally unique way of experiencing the rainforest - from above and you get to stop along the way, so you can get amongst it as well.  What I like is the fact that on Skyrail you have NO impact on the forest as it is all boardwalks - walking in the Daintree is [albeit small] an impact.  A daintree trip is 2 hours drive from cairns.  Skyrail is 10 minutes away.  Plus combination with the train - what a great day
