Travel by Train to Kuranda, Australia

First established by Europeans in 1885 and then linked to Cairns by rail in 1891, Kuranda rapidly

earned a well-deserved status as a top tourist destination.

The ideal way to reach Kuranda is to take

a scenic rail journey through the Barron Gorge from Cairns, passing shimmering sugar cane, cascading waterfalls,

and cool dark green rainforest, entwined with jungle-like vines. The Kuranda Railway, an amazing engineering

feat in itself, with 37 bridges and 15 tunnels, was built nearly a hundred years ago to service the northern gold-fields.
