Kuranda Scenic Railway

1 review of Kuranda Scenic Railway

Amazing journey

The Kuranda Scenic Railway is a railway in Queensland linking the city of Cairns to Kuranda village which is about 27 kilometers northwest. The journey is amazing: the train passes through the forest with all of its lush vegetation, a bridge offering a view of a spectacular landscape, and next to some natural waterfalls that fall very close to the train. You can take pictures from a roofless car with everyone else ve squeezes in to get the best picture. The train is very nice and quite old. It began to operate in 1891 thanks to a costly infrastructure that made difficult terrain passable by train.

More than 1,500 men were involved in this huge project that began in 1886. The train has a steam engine and maintains its nineteenth century aesthetic while incorporating modern technology.
