Skyrail Rainforest Cableway

Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is a 7.5-kilometre (4.7 mi) scenic tourist cableway running above the Barron Gorge National Park, in the Wet Tropics of Queensland's World Heritage Area in Australia. It operates from the Smithfield terminal in Cairns to the Kuranda terminal on the Atherton Tableland. It

was the longest gondola cableway in the world when it was completed in 1995. The cableway journeys over the Macalister Range between Smithfield and Kuranda using six-person gondola cabins. A one-way trip takes about 1.5 hours, and a return trip is about 2.5 hours. Two rainforest stations, Red Peak and Barron Falls, allow exploration of the forest floor on boardwalks and education of the World Heritage area.
