History

The Kuranda Rainforest forms part of the Wet Tropics of Queensland, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its ecological and cultural significance. This region is home to ancient plant species and indigenous Djabugay people, who have lived here for over 10,000 years. The Kuranda Scenic Railway was built in the late 1800s to connect Cairns with the rainforest village, boosting tourism and trade in the area.
