Kuranda Rainforest 

Kuranda rainforest is one of the most beautiful rainforests in Australia.

It is dense and lush, and covered in vines.

You can best experience it by taking some of the walking tracks around the town.

There is one starting at the train station (take the steps down to the river).

It goes in a circle back to the town.
