Places to Visit (Attractions and Tours ):
One must-do activity is the trip to the rainforest village of
Kuranda. Most visitors choose to take the Skyrail in one direction and the Scenic Railway in the other. The 110-year-old rail line zigzags through the spectacular rainforest, past and over rivers and waterfalls of the
Baron Gorge, while the Skyrail's gondolas offer unparalleled views from over the forest canopy. The Skyrail makes several stops where passengers can alight to take the boardwalk trails through the rainforest.
Kuranda's high-spots include the Butterfly Sanctuary where you can wander among superbly-coloured insects, Birdworld with its host of native and exotic birds and the delightful Kuranda Markets.
North of Cairns lies
Port Douglas. Surrounded by tropical rainforest, it is an international tourist destination and many tour operators are based here. A few kilometres further on is Mossman, a sugar town which is the gateway to
Daintree National Park - the largest tropical rainforest in Australia .
Further north again, and accessible by 4WD only, is historic
Cooktown. It was here that Captain Cook beached the Endeavour for repairs after running aground on the reef.
Escape the heat of the coast with a visit to the
Tablelands. Being higher above sea level, there is often a welcome cooling effect in this green and lush pastureland. Take the "Waterfall Circuit" from Millaa Millaa to see the area's most spectacular waterfalls - especially good after rain.
