The Kuranda Scenic Railway is a heritage rail line in Queensland, Australia, operating between Cairns and the village of Kuranda in the Wet Tropics rainforest. The 37-kilometer route follows a historic track built in the late 19th century, ascending through tunnels, bridges, and steep ravines with views of Barron Gorge and coastal plains. Trains run multiple times daily, taking about two hours one way, and connect with the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway for a return trip option.
