About the Kuranda Scenic Railway
The original Kuranda Scenic Railway is a spectacular journey comprising unsurpassed views of World Heritage Listed rainforest, steep ravines and picturesque waterfalls within the Barron Gorge National Park.
Constructed between 1882 and 1891 it is considered an engineering feat of tremendous magnitude. Hundreds of men were employed to build the 15 hand-made tunnels and 37 bridges that stand as a monument to the pioneers of tropical North Queensland.
This famous railway winds its way from Cairns to Kuranda, the village in the rainforest. At Kuranda, you'll discover a variety of unique attractions, including the bustling Village markets, the internationally renowned Rainforestation, Bird World, and the colourful Australian Butterfly Sanctuary.
A must-do for visitors to Cairns and North Queensland.
