1891 Kuranda Scenic Railway crosses a bridge over Stoney Creek in Queensland, Australia.

The Kuranda Scenic Railway crosses a bridge over Stoney Creek on its return to Freshwater and Cairns Stations in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. In this downward direction, find a seat on the righthand side to see Stoney Creek Falls, where the train slows for an impressive view. To more safely link a rich gold mining area to the sea, the Kuranda Railway was built in 1891 from Cairns, over the Great Dividing Range, to the town of Kuranda on the Atherton Tableland. A fun loop ticket starts at the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway's Smithfield Terminal to reach Kuranda village, goes via train to Freshwater Station in Cairns, and returns to Smithfield via bus (or reverse).
