Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, Aerial tramway in Queensland, Australia
The Skyrail Rainforest Cableway extends 7.5 kilometers across Barron Gorge National Park, offering views of the forest canopy through glass-floor gondolas.
The construction of this transportation system began in June 1994, with helicopters carrying materials to minimize environmental impact during the building process.
Rangers at Red Peak Station share knowledge about the Djabugay Rainforest Peoples, who maintain traditional connections to this ancient tropical forest.
Visitors can select between standard cabins or Diamond View gondolas with glass floors, with stops available at Red Peak Station and Barron Falls Station.
The cableway travels above a rainforest that predates the Amazon, containing plant species that have existed for over 130 million years.
