Kuranda on a perfect day


Kuranda is a little village on the Tableland above Cairns, which can be reached either by "Skytrain" (cable car) or by scenic railway. We chose to take a return ticket on the cable car, having done the rail trip many years ago. The cable car takes you across the top of the rainforest, in three stages, and one can get out at the two stops on the way. It was a perfect day weather-wise and the views were stunning. Kuranda is a very "arty" village, full of markets selling clothes, opals, artwork and even mango wine! Warwick indulged in a fresh coconut, reminiscent of visits to Bali.
