ALL ABOARD the Kuranda Train. This panorama was taken at the Freshwater
Connection Railway Station, just 10 minutes west of the CBD as the
train was boarding, headed for Kuranda. The Train passes through
the World Heritage Rainforest continuing on the high side of Barron
Gorge to Kuranda, via the many tunnels and bridges. Views from
the train window are spectacular, especially on a clear day. During
the wet season (December to April) the Barron
Falls Station is a popular spot to view the Falls. This whole
area is particularly scenic and the train has become a popular way
to see the sights. The bridge over Stony
Creek is a famous scene.
You can have breakfast
at the Freshwater Connection Railway Station and board the train
there. The train departs daily and combines with many other tours
including Skyrail.
Kuranda is a favourite
destination, not only for the lush scenery, but also for the famous
Kuranda markets, focussed on the arts, crafts and culture of the
region. Aboriginal arts are well represented. Kuranda also has a
butterfly farm, an Australian Bird Park and a Bungy Tower.
