Kuranda Scenic Railway | Freshwater station to Kuranda | Cairns, Queensland, Australia

The Kuranda Scenic Railway is a railway line that runs from Cairns, Queensland, Australia, over the Great Dividing Range to the town of Kuranda. The tourist railway snakes its way up through the Macalister Range on the Cairns-to-Kuranda railway line which is no longer used for regular commuter services, but instead operates as a tourist service, operating every day of the year, except Christmas Day. It passes through the suburbs of Stratford, Freshwater (stopping at Freshwater railway station) and Redlynch before reaching Kuranda. The line is used for some freight services and other passenger services, such as The Savannahlander.
The railway is 37 km (23 mi) in length.[1] It takes about one hour and 55 minutes to climb one way including the stop off at the falls.[2]
