What
to do in Cape Tribulation, Far North Queensland
The Daintree
Coast / Cape Tribulation
Where the rain forest
meets the reef. To merely say this place is beautiful is an understatement,
an injustice to the Cape Tribulation and all its friends and relatives.
I will try to think of a better word next time I go.
There is a special tranquillity
about the Daintree that pictures and words cannot describe. You
have to spend some in the Daintree to really appreciate it magical
appeal.
Thanks to concerned locals
Cape Tribulation ('Cape Trib') and the Daintree is not on the power
grid so you have to BYO (just kidding).
This mean most residents
have their own power generator (Jenny) often running off of alternative
forms of energy such as solar power.
This all adds to the
sense of community.
Many of the locals who
are against large-scale development. Once you have visited –
you will be too.
Best of both
worlds on the Daintree Coast. A two day tour that takes in the best
of the region!
