Kuranda Original Rainforest Markets are unique and diverse, deeply immersed in local history and culture.

Situated in world heritage rainforest, these markets had their humble beginings in 1978 by a group of local hippy artists and crafts people.

The original marketeers had to pay for operation of their own train service for two seasons, to prove commercial viability of the service to the Railway Department.

These markets put Kuranda on the map, cementing it's reputation as an exotic rainforest destination for local and international visitors.

 

 

Today the Original Markets has retained it's atmosphere, with many local artists and personalities making the market part of their lifestyle.

Many of the current marketeers have been involved in the markets during the course of the last 25 - 30 years, The local knowledge and expertise is second to none. This market also has a strong eco-concious ethic with organic, recycled, natural, holistic and remedial products available here.
