Kuranda Railway
The 100-year-old Kuranda rail line stretches upwards for 21
miles (34km) from Cairns to Kuranda through tropical rainforest,
winds through 15 tunnels and 98 breathtaking curves, and traverses
40 bridges, including one that spans the awesome Barron River
Falls. The scenic trip is a must for all visitors to Cairns. The
trip includes an educational commentary about the history of the
line and the engineering feat of its construction. The journey
takes about one hour, 45 minutes, one way. Advance booking is
recommended.

commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
