Cairns and Northern Beaches Hotels, Kuranda Hotels

Ensconced in tropical rainforests that are a nature enthusiast's dream, the town of Kuranda can be reached from Cairns by road, the Kuranda Scenic Railway, or--by those without a fear of heights--the skyrail that passes over the bordering Barron Gorge National Park, part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage area. Wine and dine in one of the many restaurants, and then buy an authentic didgeridoo.
