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.
