The
earliest inhabitants, the Djabugay, lived in harmony with the rainforest.
There was a good deal of trade between Tableland Rainforest Aborigines
and those on the coast. In 1876, John Doyle camped near Kuranda when seeking
a route between the Hodgkinson’s Gold Field and the coast. Kuranda was
founded 12 years later, and the first train steamed into Kuranda in 1891.
23 men had died building the line. Tourism had its foundation before 1920.
Honeymoon couples would stay at one of the hotels and visit (by rowboat)
" Fairyland " and " Paradise ".
An early tourist publication had this
to say about Kuranda, " No township in the world has such splendour within
its environs… no wonder that journalists, authors, artists and poets have
tried to express in permanent form the emotions which it has stirred within
them, " Tjis remains true today. Kuranda Markets first opened in 1978
with 15 stalls. For more information, buy The Kuranda. Heritage
Trail Map at the Kuranda Visitor Centre.
