There are three ways to visit and view Barron Falls: highway, narrow-gauge railroad, and aerial tram. For those drivers not acclimated to driving on the left side of the road, driving the highway could be dangerous. It is steep with many sharp curves. Much better for the tourist are the train and tram. In fact the best way to go is a combination of train and tram. The Kuranda Scenic Railway is not only an engineering marvel (constructed in the 1890s), but also a delightful excursion for tourists. There are about 15 tunnels and several bridges, including an awesome trestle. The train stops at a Barron Falls overlook, and passengers are allowed to detrain for a better view. The termination of the scenic railroad is Kuranda, which has evolved into a delightful shopping village. Several shops feature aboriginal clothing, art work and cultural items, and there is a variety of eating establishments. Kuranda also sponsors several aboriginal cultural exhibitions. Plan on spending a couple of hours in Kuranda - don't be hurried by scheduling an early return. If you return by aerial tram you will be treated to an extraordinary view of a tropical rain forest - from directly above it! There are two intermediate stations on the tramway. Each has instructive displays, and there are self-guided pathways at both. You can also walk to an overview of Barron Falls (opposite the train stop) from the first station. The final descent of the tram presents a picturesque overview of the Cairns Beach Plains.--Deckhoff (talk) 22:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
