We stumbled across this place as it’s not highly advertised, but what a gem of a place it is! The tour was outstanding with all things “bats” carefully explained to us with such passion. So wonderful to see the bats rehabilitating. And it’s so clean!! We were amazed. Keep up the good work

I have just spent the weekend completing module 1&2 learning to Silversmith and setting jewellery with Aura and Laurence from Rainforest Gems. I am very pleased with the level of skills and knowledge that was given to me over the 3 days by such dedicated and wonderful people. This training has given me the confidence and understanding to further develop my skills working with silver and gold creating and designing jewellery. I recommend that you visit Rainforest Gems on the Atherton Tablelands in Tolga where you can purchase beautifully crafted opal settings, gold and silver jewellery to add to your collection or attend the training courses on offer. Thank you Aura and Laurence for this most rewarding experience. Best wishes Mick

G'day mate! Looking for a fun day out for the family? Welcome to Kur-Cow Barnwell Farm - a working cattle station located in tropical North Queensland. We've got activities to entertain the whole family! We are also open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! Bookings essential.

Reviewed By 967garethj

Popped up to KUR-Cow on a cosy winter Saturday morning for a fun activity (we wanted to try ATV quad biking!). The course was great fun, the instructor, Jennifer was lovely and gave us two options of a more basic route... or a more adventurous option... We took the latter through the creek, stopping to feed the bull and cows (and a baby calf) on the way! After the ATV we stayed for lunch, while it was cooking we got to feed the horses, goats, alpacas and ponies as well as have a look at the bird menagerie. The food was epic! We sat with an incredible view of the rainforest... and some of the best ribs I've had in Cairns (we went for the low n slow lunch as we were there early... But talking to the staff they mentioned better for evening BBQ (they also said they host a sunset view, which I think would be nice, so thinking of driving back again one evening). There aren't any signs, but easy enough to find with Google maps or sat nav, at the junction it top of Kuranda range just follow the road opposite (reverse direction) to Kuranda Village. Overall definitely worth a morning trip, and tempted to go back for a horse ride and sunset BBQ!

Incredible, if you’ve never been to a butterfly sanctuary you need to go! They have many different kinds of butterflies flying freely which is amazing to be amongst and watch them dance around the air around you. It’s a really pretty garden too!

Kuranda Scenic Railway

The original Kuranda Scenic Railway is a spectacular journey comprising unsurpassed views of World Heritage Listed rainforest, steep ravines and picuresque waterfalls within the Barron Gorge National Park. This famous railway winds its way from Cairns to Kuranda, the village in the rainforest. Constructed between 1882 and 1891 it is considered an engineering feat of tremendous magnitude. Hundreds of men were employed to build the 15 hand-made tunnels and 37 bridges that stand as a monument to the pioneers of tropical North Queensland

Highly recommend even if you don’t do the Skyrail or train you can easily drive to the falls and follow down the natural wetlands to the viewing platform.
