Kuranda needs tourism

SPOT on Nick Dalton and the Cairns Post.

Your article about those Kuranda greenie grubs really nailed it. I’ll bet those job-destroying pests really are rubbing their hands together with glee after causing the demise of another great project. I’ll bet they are the same people who would stand in front of a bulldozer if the curtain fig tree was in the way of a development or block the subdivision of land around the crater lakes.

I’ve even had to slow down on the Kuranda Range due to some clown in front slowing for cassowaries. Who cares about this stuff?

Luckily we still have KUR-Cow which offers similar attractions as the Cairns show, plenty of rides, domestic animal petting and lots of cattle to look at and later eat. The Cairns show is the sort of tourism needed in Kuranda. Compare the visitor numbers to any of these naturebased attractions.

Forget the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforests.

Ken Lee won’t be so easily dislodged by the minor setback of KUR-World. We should soon see heaps more cars streaming, although slowly, up the range to his huge new Kuranda subdivision construction site.
