Rainforestation Nature Park

Listing Details

At Rainforestation Nature Park, visitors can experience Australian nature and Aboriginal culture in one convenient setting. The 100 hectare (40 acre) tourist attraction is on the coastal range behind Cairns, amidst World Heritage tropical rainforest, and only five minutes from Kuranda. Rainforestation's famous 30 seat Army Ducks run amphibious tours through the tropical rainforest, while experienced driver/guides explain the features of the surrounding forest. The Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience introduces visitors to several aspects of traditional Aboriginal culture. In their rainforest amphitheatre the Pamagirri Dancers perform an exciting and powerful corroboree of traditional Aboriginal dances, accompanied by didgeridoo and clapsticks. On the Dreamtime Walk, the Pamagirri guides teach visitors to throw boomerang, demonstrate spear-throwing and explain the didgeridoo. The Pamagirri Cultural Centre, which resembles a large outback shed, features examples of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island huts and shelters, plus original art and artefacts. In the ever-expanding Koala and Wildlife Park, raised platforms provide great views of the koalas, wombats, crocodiles (including five metre Jack the Ripper), snakes, wallabies and kangaroos. Guests can be photographed with a cute young koala. Rates: adult $34.00; child - Aged 4 to 14 $17.00; family $85.00
