Review:
Kuranda is a beautiful and picturesque mountain village 15 miles northwest of Cairns in Far North Queensland. It is encircled by a World Heritage-listed tropical rainforest and is known for having an energetic arts and craft culture due to its artisan inhabitants. There is much to be seen in Kuranda, including the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary, Kuranda Koala Gardens, Birdworld Kuranda, Rainforestation Nature Park, and the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. A highlight is the Kuranda Scenic Railway, which takes visitors on a journey through the scenic Barron Gorge National Park as they glide by gorgeous waterfalls, dense rainforest, and steep ravines.
