Splurge for a first class ticket, and you will be wined and
dined in delicious comfort on a train that dates back to the 1890’s, and along
the way pass through some amazing scenery as the old train chugs along.
The return trip was on the Skyrail, as it seemed to float
over the top of the rainforest. You catch a tiny glimpse of the vastness of the
formidable rain forest. I found the scenery was far more spectacular from the
train, and I enjoyed it more.
Kuranda Village is delightful, it’s fun just to stroll down
the street and visit the shops. The Heritage Markets operate 7 days a week,
along the way there were a few galleries,
restaurants, many arts and crafts boutiques, it is a place to relax and
simply enjoy. I even bought a contemporary abstract that was being sold off and
discounted, really discounted. I picked it up for a ridiculous price, and lugged
it home.
It is a charming, touristy place, the locals are friendly,
and willing to go out of their way to be helpful, and there is the Australian
Butterfly Sanctuary, and Kuranda Koala Gardens. To see everything at leisure,
the best bet is to get a round trip train ticket and not worry about catching
the last Skyrail. I would love to go
back and do just that.
Kuranda is not to be missed, and the way to get there is
incomparable.
