Freshwater

A picturesque and quaint station which can be used as your starting point on your Kuranda Rail trip.The station has a rustic feel and offers a wonderful little gift shop and has a bar available. Those traveling in Gold Class can have drinks served prior to departure.The staff at the station are warm and friendly and the amenities are clean. It's the perfect starting point for a wonderful day travelling on the Kuranda Scenic Railway.

I just want to give a big shout out to the railway staff on the scenic train experience. They went over and above with service for my family. My mum is disabled. They went out of there way to help her down from the train in the lift. Not because they had to but because they wanted to. Love your work team. A big thankyou from my family. ❤️

Large group, no benches on the platform. It is a very nicely arranged historical site with some great artefacts. Very good having a 3 year old asking what's that" for every item"

A must visit if in Cairns.

It's well signposted, has plenty of parking and, via car, is easy to turn into or out of. There is a lot of seating, but if you're there for a tour departure, be mindful that there will be more people than the original design allowed for, so if you NEED seating, arrive early. The bathrooms are clean, walkways are clean ... it's simply lovely!

The man at the station this morning was so rude to his coworker as she was explaining to us that the sky rail isn’t working atm, I felt embarrassed for the lady helping us, he was also extremely rude to my husband we decided to cancel our tour, some people should not work in tourism.

Really nice and quaint train station with an amazing bathroom :) marble floors and plated taps. Great little cafe with what seemed like really good food and lots of interesting curios in the souvenir shop. Still under renovation so it's a bit tricky to get in but inside is really nice. Really nice start to the scenic railway ride and I was surprised it's owned by Queensland Rail.

Wow...lovely experience with scenic view...enjoyed the ride.

Rustic train ride all the way to Kuranda with a 10min stop at Barron falls.Very interesting to learn more about the building of the track and its purpose back in the day. Limited scenic views, but the once we’ve seen were impressive.

A retro style train station originally which serves as the starting point for train trips to Kuranda. The station is always bustling with travelers anticipating their journey to Kuranda and Barron Gorge National Park. The café inside the station, Le Crouton, is also unique in that it uses old locomotive carriages as seating for patrons who choose to dine in.
