Follow the clouds of incense down to the Kuranda Original Rainforest Markets . Operating since 1978, they're still the best place to see artists at work and hippies at play. Pick up everything from avocado ice cream to organic lingerie and sample local produce like honey and fruit wines.
Across the way, the more touristy Heritage Markets overflow with souvenirs and crafts, such as ceramics, emu oil, jewellery, clothing and bottles of incredibly hot sauce.
