For budget-conscious travellers, Kuranda, Queensland, offers an array of exciting activities and attractions that won't break the bank. Start your exploration at the Kuranda Koala Gardens, where you can get up close with Australia’s iconic wildlife, including koalas and kangaroos; entry fees are reasonable and the experience is unforgettable for families. The Kuranda Scenic Railway is a must-do, providing stunning views of the rainforest, and while it's worth splurging on a ticket, consider taking the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway for a more affordable yet equally breathtaking journey through the treetops. For a taste of local culture, the Kuranda Markets are a vibrant hub of craftsmanship and cuisine—stroll through the stalls and enjoy free live music, with plenty of affordable snacks to sample. Don't miss the Barron Falls, where you can enjoy a picturesque hike that is entirely free, with some of the best views in the area. For budget-friendly accommodation, look towards the area surrounding the markets, where quaint motels and guesthouses often offer special deals for families. Staying here means you're just a short walk from the heart of Kuranda, allowing for spontaneous explorations and easy access to all the local delights.
