Kuranda Antique Rail - this old train was created in the 1930s and fell into disuse after the war but thankfully has been brought back into service to take tourists back down the mtn. to Cairns. Everything is open and you get the breezes, tropical bird sounds and all of nature wafting in through the windows. There are old historic pictures posted and a neat technoligical add-on of video display of pictures from the era flashing up when the history of the tracks is explained or some natural phenomenon is coming up. You go through 15 tunnels and over 99 bridges in your way down.
