Caught the skyrail just outside of cairns . Picked the 11 am time to make sure we made it on time but that was a bad mistake . The skyrail was Good with two stops to look around and see the rainforest and Barron falls view . Arrived at Kuranda and it started closing at about 12.30 pm. Markets and shops closed and there was not much open. The only people we saw were some shop owners closing up and some fellow travellers waiting for the 3.30pm train. Sure there are nice walls like the Jumrum creek walk but by the end of it we had seen enough rainforest walks. Had to try and kill time walking through cheap souvenirs ( well not that cheap ) and sarongs. Some nice photographic art studios there if you can spare AU$2000. This is written as we wait 2 hours for the train . The train ride would show some nice scenery.

Visiting Cairns on holiday this is a MUST see. We went up in the Gondola 🚠 and down back to Cairns on the train. Downloaded the skyrail app and it gave us a FULL commentary all the way up the mountain fantastic. The train trip down is also commentated telling you all about the area FANTASTIC day out. Barron falls was a spectacular sight to see too
