Kuranda is a town and locality on the Atherton Tableland in the Shire of Mareeba, Far North Queensland. It is 25 km from Cairns, via the Kuranda Range road. It is surrounded by tropical rainforest and parts of it, particularly along its eastern edge, are protected within the Kuranda National Park and Barron Gorge National Park, both of which belong to the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
The rainforest around Kuranda has been home to the Djabugay people for over 10,000 years. Europeans began to explore the area throughout the nineteenth century. Kuranda was first settled in 1885 and surveyed by Thomas Behan in 1888. Construction of the railway from Cairns to Herberton began in 1887 and the line reached Kuranda in 1891. The current railway station was built in 1915.
