Kuranda Scenic Railway listed in world’s top 10

24 JUN: Here’s some good news for the beleaguered Queensland tourism industry.

A UK-based global tour operator has rated the Kuranda Scenic Railway one of the world’s 10 great train journeys, the Cairns Post reports.

This puts it in the same league as Canada’s Rocky Mountaineer, Rovos Rail in South Africa, Asia’s Oriental Express and India’s Palace on Wheels.

Journeys of Distinction, owned by the big Kuoni Travel company, describes the Kuranda railway as "a magnificent engineering feat that involved 2.3 million metres of earthworks, creating 15 tunnels, 93 curves, dozens of bridges and 75km of track".

Central Australia tourist train The Ghan also makes the top 10.
