Hidden away
among the dense tropical rainforest, you can stroll through
the markets browsing a huge variety of stalls which provide an original range of handmade local arts & crafts plus Australian opals,
jewellery, gemstones, crocodile and kangaroo leather goods.
Discover some rich Aboriginal heritage as they share part of their 60,000 year history with you. This
vibrant little village is only 27 km North West of Cairns
and has a population of approx 800. You

cable car and returning on the Kuranda train or the
other way around. Relax and enjoy the tropical delights at one of the local restaurants and cafes.
