Introducing Kuranda
With its close proximity to Cairns, Kuranda keeps ’em coming on whistle-stop tours that are greeted by his-and-her safari suits, koala key rings and other B-grade merchandise. But it’s the journey that counts, and certainly the Skyrail and/or scenic railway trips redeem this destination from mediocrity. Around 3.30pm, the theme-park atmosphere evaporates, the indigenous population reclaims the streets and you can appreciate the enchanting rainforest that made it so popular in the first place.

The Kuranda visitor information centre (4093 9311; www.kuranda.org; 10am-4pm) is located in Centenary Park.
