Stop 3

2 hours Admission included

Carriages

Both consists comprise heritage style carriages. The first and last carriage on each service has a Guards' compartment fitted. This style of coach was well known because of their vintage appearance. Such things as open-end verandas, sun shades over the windows and short wheelbases were common place. As you can imagine, they have been modified and upgraded at various times during workshop maintenance and rebuild programs.

Before leaving the rolling stock, mention must be made of four special carriages that were unique to the Cairns area and may have been the only vehicles of their type to operate in Australia. They were known as “Grandstand” cars and were provided specifically for use by tourists on the train to Kuranda, highlighting the importance placed on this fast growing industry in the North.

The Story of Buda-dji

Buda-dji is the Carpet Snake who, in the dreamtime, carved out the Barron River and the creeks that join onto it, from the coast to the Tablelands.
