This journey is worth choosing for its engineering history as much as its scenery. Curves, bridges and the Barron Falls stop reveal how the line climbs from the coastal plain into the range. It occupies a substantial part of the day and runs to a timetable, so book your chosen direction and confirm any connections before adding more Kuranda stops.
What to look for
The historic rail line curves through rainforest and cuttings.
The journey passes Barron Gorge on its way to Kuranda.
