FROM FRESHWATER STATION TO KURANDA

The Kuranda Scenic Railway is a remarkable tourist railway service that operates along the heritage-listed Cairns-to-Kuranda railway line in Queensland, Australia. Here are some fascinating details about this scenic journey.
The journey takes passengers through lush rainforest, across bridges, and through tunnels that were hand-made by North Queensland’s pioneers over a century ago.
The route winds through ancient tropical rainforest, passing by stunning waterfalls and into the awe-inspiring Barron Gorge.
Barron Falls is a steep tiered cascade waterfall that descends from the Atherton Tablelands to the Cairns coastal plain.
The falls stretch down rocky ledges for an impressive 250 meters (820 feet) into the craggy gorge below.
Protected within the Barron Gorge National Park, the volume of water varies significantly throughout the year.
Australian Butterfly Sanctuary is located in the heart of Kuranda, only a short walk from Skyrail and the Kuranda Scenic Railway station and is the home tp over 1,200 butterflies.
