For those travelling with us over the summer period, a reminder that some of our beautiful carriages are more than 100 years old, which does mean no air-conditioning. The train does have large, open-air windows β bringing you closer to the scents of the rainforest and mist of the waterfalls you pass by. π
Beat the heat with some of our steps to prep this summer! π https://bit.ly/47NZSdD

Kuranda Scenic Railway 15 carriages
The answer you've all been waiting for! Thanks everyone for your answers to our Train Trek Trivia post yesterday. π π
The answer to the question, how many carriages does our longest train have is: 15 carriages
That's right! The train running from Gimuy (Cairns) to Ngunbay (Kuranda) at 9:30am and then back to Cairns from Kuranda at 3:30pm has 12 Heritage Class carriages, two Gold Class carriages and one accessible carriage. π
Originally built in 1909, our carriages were unique to the Cairns area and may have been the only vehicles of their type to operate in Australia at that time. They were known as βGrandstandβ cars and were specifically intended for use by tourists travelling to Kuranda. Today, these heritage timber beauties host more than 300,000 guests between Cairns and Kuranda each year. πΏπ
