Kuranda Rainforest Story Walking Tracks, Kuranda

---

The picturesque rainforest village of Kuranda has been drawing visitors for centuries, from local Aboriginal tribes to today’s visitors from around the world. Located just 25km north-west from Cairns, Kuranda village is nestled in World Heritage-listed rainforest on the banks of the Barron River.

Kuranda’s rainforest is often seen from the window of the famous Kuranda Rail or silently soared over in the Skyrail cableway, but visitors to Kuranda can now get in amongst it with ease, with Queensland Heritage Trails Network funding of $350,000, Mareeba Shire Council providing $150,000 and the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service $30,000.

The rainforest is now easily accessible to walkers with the opening of six new walking tracks in and around the rainforest village. The Kuranda Rainforest Story walks, part of the Queensland Heritage Trails Network, are all linked and each provide a different experience. Places to see in Queensland
