December

As winter sets in, head down under to Australia or travel to the Caribbean for island sun and fun.

Travel by Train to Kuranda, Australia



First established by Europeans in 1885 and then linked to Cairns by rail in 1891, Kuranda rapidly

earned a well-deserved status as a top tourist destination.

The ideal way to reach Kuranda is to take

a scenic rail journey through the Barron Gorge from Cairns, passing shimmering sugar cane, cascading waterfalls,

and cool dark green rainforest, entwined with jungle-like vines. The Kuranda Railway, an amazing engineering

feat in itself, with 37 bridges and 15 tunnels, was built nearly a hundred years ago to service the northern gold-fields.
