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!
