    It was excellently laid out, some of the exhibits were exceptional in their details,however, I don't know why everything needs a ap to put your tickets. I have apple wallet for this very thing.

    The lady at the Kuranda ticket office was brilliant - she patiently sorted out a failed booking via a third party and got us on the train.

    The train ride up and back was a fantastic experience. How ever there was not much going on with the shops in Kuranda, which I am presuming it was because the Skyrail was closed. But the ticketing was easy and the staff at the Train Station were fantastic and very helpful and smiled alot. Had a lovely day
