Kuranda is a market town on the tablelands above Cairns in far north Queensland; renown for the train ride through the rain forest to get there.

A small waterfall that apparently flows hard enough to form a tunnel over the train right after it rains

Butterflys from the butterfly farm


Messy eater!


Aren't they cute!
