When you have finished meandering through the markets and had your fill of fudge and ice-cream, head to the train station to enjoy a scenic ride down the mountain back to Cairns Stopping at the Barron Falls, from the opposite side to where the Skyrail lookout is. Through various tunnels and around a few u bends, there are plenty of photo opportunities on this unique journey through the heritage listed rainforest. Skyrail and train passes may be purchased together, which includes a transfer from Freshwater Station back to the Skyrail carpark (or vice versa). Don't forget to ask the friendly staff at your preferred attraction.

Catch the train from the city at Cairns Central straight up into the rainforest and spend an incredible day exploring the sights around Kuranda!

You can hope on the train around the corner at Freshwater Railway Station and see the beautiful small town. Markets, Butterfly sanctuary and local foods and Jewellery stores.
