About
Enjoy a peaceful journey on the Kuranda Scenic Railway and discover the beauty of the Australian rainforest, without worrying about what’s lurking in the bush.
Board your train and relax as a tropical forest begins to flourish outside your window. When you step off, you’ll be in peaceful Kuranda, with its heritage market and koala park.
Once you’ve got some souvenirs, prepare to get high. Step onto the Skyrail and take in verdant green vistas as you climb above the canopy of Barron Gorge.
