Kuranda Train Station, FNQ

We took the Kuranda Scenic Railway from Cairns to Kuranda, and one of my photo captions says the climb gets very steep and that the rail line, constructed in 1891, goes through 14 tunnels when crossing the Great Dividing Range.

Kuranda is a village on the Atherton Tableland and is surrounded by the world’s oldest living rainforest.

That's quite a show of flowers. There are many more trees around it now, with a greater sense of being in the rainforest.
