The Kuranda Range road is an informally named section of the Kennedy Highway, located near Cairns (16°50′18″S145°40′21″E) that traverses the Macalister Range. The 11.5 kilometres (7.1 mi) section of road connects Smithfield and Kuranda, after which it is named, at an altitude of about 360 metres (1,180 ft). Traffic is primarily limited to one lane each way, with overtaking lanes at various points. The Kuranda Skyrail cableway crosses the road twice.
