The Skyrail adventure concludes at Smithfield Terminal station, where you can have lunch at your own expense. In the afternoon, we'll travel to Freshwater Station, where you'll then embark on the Kuranda Scenic Rail—a historic train journey through the renowned Queensland rainforest, acclaimed as one of Australia's most iconic train routes.
