The Kuranda MagnaPool Aquatic Centre is the first Council-owned public MagnaPool in the world. The Kuranda MagnPool Aquatic Centre opened to the public in 2008 in the environmentally sensitive tropical rainforest area of Kuranda in Far North Queensland, Australia just 25 km from Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef.
The Kuranda Aquatic Centre MagnaPool is located at 262 Myola Road, Kuranda, next to the Kuranda District State College. This area is also home to the endangered Kuranda Tree Frog (Litoria myola) and Myola Palm (Archontophoenix myolensis).
A MagnaPool system is an environmentally-friendly and healthy alternative to traditional saltwater pools. The key component mineral is magnesium chloride, which works as a natural clarifier and antiseptic, killing bacteria and therefore the need for other sanitisers is greatly reduced. There is no smell of chlorine in the air or on your skin and it's as close to swimming in natural mineral baths as you could get in a safe commercial environment.
"Dja-bu-guy” is the name of the tribe of aboriginal people who live in
the Kuranda region. The present Kuranda village was “Ngunbay”, or place
of platypus. An image of a platypus is represented on the bottom of the Toddler Pool at the Kuranda MagnaPool Aquatic Centre.
The Kuranda MagnaPool Aquatic Centre can be hired for special occasions.
