Introduction

Rainforestation Nature Park sits in Kuranda, high in Queensland's World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics, a 30-minute drive from Cairns. Its star attraction is the amphibious Army Duck — a WWII-vintage vehicle that trundles through rainforest and splashes into a lagoon on a 45-minute guided tour. The park also hosts the Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience with traditional dance and Dreamtime stories, plus a Koala and Wildlife Park where you can cuddle a koala, feed kangaroos and meet cassowaries and saltwater crocodiles.
