Peter Jarver Gallery

Peter Jarver Gallery is a large and beautiful, iconic art gallery featuring Peter Jarver's incredible, spectacular, panoramic, landscape photographs of Australia. These are the finest award-winning images. A must-see while visiting Kuranda, the village in the rainforest. Both overseas and domestic visitors LOVE Peter's breathtaking images.

We visited the Peter Jarver gallery by chance and were not disappointed . The landscape photography on show was stunning, enough for us to purchase one. The best landscape photography we have had the pleasure of viewing, thank you Peter Jarver ! The depth and detail of the photos are stunning . We cannot wait to have one of Peters works on our living room wall for years of pleasurable viewing .

Nandroya Falls

Reviewed By JilliBn - Gold Coast, Australia

Nice walk, best done early morning. Recommended to take insect repellent as march flies are notorious and do sting. I had terrible reactions and was covered in inflamed, itchy bites for weeks. Other than that I really enjoyed the walk.

Mt. Hypipamee National Park

Reviewed By simply-peregrinating - Waddington, United Kingdom

The Hypipamee crater is a really unusual thing to see, small but way down deep in a rock outcrop. The path there is well maintained through the forest. The viewing platform maximises the views of the crater and gives that wow factor. Definitely worth a visit.

What a wonderful and informative experience. Amazing exhibits and movement sensors that start the audio commentary. Whether you are interested in the history of tobacco farming, early explorers, mining or local history, this is the place for you. Think Herberton Historical village but on a smaller scale. Definitely worth a visit. Not air conditioned inside so recommend a visit in winter.
