Thirty minutes’ drive from Cairns is the picturesque village of Kuranda. This unique and secluded town is surrounded by lush tropical rainforest and is a key destination for many tourists who visit the region for its hidden beauty and its famous markets.
Many travellers choose to ride the Kuranda Scenic Railway to the mountaintop village, and many more the Rainforest Cableway. From the cableway, travellers can experience panoramic views over one of the oldest rainforests in the world and catch a glimpse of the spectacular Barron Falls.
