The train pulled into Kuranda Station at 11.15am and you could either walk up the fairly steep hill, or catch the free shuttle bus. Most people including myself opted for the latter - well it was quite warm and the hill was quite steep.
I bought some Bush Natural Products for $65 - nice stuff but I can't see it's made that much of a difference. (Sigh) Ice-cream is on sale up here too and I decided on passionfruit and macadamia - at $6 it was a "speciality" and tasted wonderful. Lots of sampling too - Mareeba Chocolates, I didn't buy any because the chocolate would have melted by the time I arrived back in Cairns. There were fruit wines to try - I sampled all of them and very nice they were too. A little sweet for my tastes, but refreshing on a hot day.

Fanny O'Reilly's Irish Pub
There are several choices on offer with regard to eating and Fanny O'Reilly's Irish Bar and Grill is one of the most popular.
Old-Fashioned Love Seat
A number of these timber and metal seats can be found around Kuranda.
Boyd's Forest Dragon
This little fellow caused quite a stir at one of the cafes - everybody wanted to photograph him!
Information Booklet
At the Visitor Information Centre, the chap there gave me this booklet with leaflets and brochures inside.
Coffee from the Kuranda Coffee Republic
The best place for coffee is the Kuranda Coffee Republic - the barrista there makes wonderful coffee. There were cane chairs against the hallway wall and a cane table and the atmosphere was one of old-fashioned charm.
