Annabel’s Takeaway Pie Shop — Restaurant in Queensland

As recommended by our tour guide who was organised by our cruise ship company, we went there for our quick lunch there. First up, it’s a good long walk from Skyrail Kuranda Terminal, around 20 minutes in normal pace because this pie shop is located at the far end of the village stores, just opposite to the Kuranda visitor centre. The distance from railway station or Skyrail won’t be an issue if you drive, but it’s a bit difficult for elderly travellers, especially when it’s an uphill journey and then a downhill one when returning to the train station.

Food was okay, but very overpriced for such simple pastries.

Service was rude and rushed, and at one point the cashier shamed my boyfriend for asking about his allergies
