Had an enjoyable and relaxing day taking the Skyrail trip to Kuranda. The view from the gondolas were amazing. The walk around Karunda was nice it is filled with alot of shops to go into. We went into the bird sanctuary this is a must but be warned the birds like to sit on your head arms etc. Well worth doing!
Took the train up to Kuranda & the Skyrail back to Smithfield. Although it was hot & sticky in the train, plenty of photo opps. Gorgeous rainforests & lots of tunnels & thin cuttings. The Skyrail gondola felt like you were flying on top of the trees in the beautiful rainforest. Much cooler on the way down. Wonderful experience. Loved it.
I did my trip with single day: scenic railway tour and skyrail to and from Kuranda. It’s a bit pricey but It’s ok for anyone who doesn’t wanna arrange trip yourself. Dueto it’s not high season amd weekday tour, so it’s quite easy and more relaxed for sitting inspring view of the railway via eindow seats and ride the skyrail with only you on the gondola . It’s no need to book the goldclass seats on the train and diamond gondola( glass floored one) . It’s no hurry for one dat trip , after 1.30 riding the train to Kuranda station, I had my favorite thai dishes in the thai kai cafe there. Furthermore did the riverwalk and Jumrum creek walk , ended up my trip with 40 minutes skyrail ride down to smithfirld station . The company tour bus waited for picking me up back to the city. It may be pricey but It saved my time.
