Queensland Express presents: the Village in the Rainforest

Kuranda

Have you ever seen a railway station in a rainforest? Me not. So it was to my greatest pleasure to see my friend, Robert's shot. Just look at this one in Kuranda.

Kuranda, a town surrounded by tropical rainforest and adjacent to the Wet Tropics World Heritage listed Barron Gorge National Park, is on the Atherton Tableland in Far North Queensland, Australia, 25 kilometres from Cairns.

Then, as he used to, he rotated his camera  +90 and  went on shooting.

Kuranda is well known as the Village in the Rainforest and has been attracting visitors for well over a century. Initially people came to admire the mighty Barron Falls, while artisans were attracted to the region's natural beauty and decided to call it home, creating a vibrant arts and craft culture.- writes the http://www.kuranda.org/
