Kuranda

The cool climate and it's fun and festive atmosphere makes Kuranda a much loved retreat for those seeking a reprieve from the usual heat of Tropical North Queensland. Kuranda's hippie culture from the 60's and 70's has left an artistic and musical mark on the area that can still be experienced today through its street art, talented buskers and arts and crafts markets.
