Overview

Situated in a quiet, leafy suburb, amidst tropical gardens and authentic heritage railway carriages Freshwater Connection provides a perfect venue for visitors to enjoy a hearty breakfast and is an ideal way to begin a Kuranda Scenic Railway journey. 

In 1984 Freshwater Connection was built as a tribute to the visionaries and pioneers who built the Kuranda Scenic Railway between 1887 and 1891. Today the venue lends itself to a diversity of functions from breakfast or an Aussie BBQ to casual buffet lunches and dinners to an elegant a la carte dining experience. The Restaurant Pavilion is designed to make the most of the tropical downpours, with ‘ripple iron’ arched ceilings. The permanently placed 85 years old Railway carriages provide an intimate dining experience with the original 24 volt electricity supply providing soft and flattering light and the comfort of discreetly hidden air conditioning.
