Kanjini co-op
​
Kanjini is a breathtaking site at the base of the Emerald Creek Falls, approximately 35km from Kuranda Village and 15 minutes from Mareeba. Emerald Creek tumbles out of the rainforest mountains of the Great Dividing Range and into the sclerophyll savannah landscape below. It is a biodiversity hot-spot and of extremely high cultural importance. We urge everyone to respect the land and take all waste away with them. We will be running bush re-generation workshops around the festival site, so instead of leaving no trace, we hope to leave a positive impact on the land. Kuranda Roots is encouraging an alcohol free/family friendly event out of respect for the Buluwai/Djabugay elders in attendance and the Keep Grog Outta Community movement.
