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.
