Review:

Kuranda is a picturesque rainforest village on the Atherton Tablelands near Cairns that is home to several exhilarating attractions. The charming and folksy village features the Kuranda Scenic Railway, which was carved out by early settlers and winds it way along forested hillside tracks boasting spectacular views. Visitors can ride the vintage steam train through the rainforest and along the gorge and soak up the spectacular natural beauty. The Skyrail Rainforest Cableway glides through the air above the treetops of the rainforest, offering adventurers the chance to see the forest from a different perspective. The rugged Barron Gorge National Park features the impressive cascading Barron Falls that tumble over steep rocks into the Barron River. Other attractions in and around the little town include the Kuranda Koala Gardens, the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary, Rainforestation Nature Park, and Birdworld.
