Explore the sheer natural beauty that Kurunda possesses, from village markets to wildlife encounters, there's much to be done and enjoyed. A quick 40-minute drive from Oaks Cairns Hotel will lead you to Kurunda where you can make your way up the ridge via the famous steam train on the Kurunda Scenic Railway. This was built way back in 1891 and navigates across the dense rainforest, steep ravines, and waterfalls.
