Cape Tribulation (Cape Trib), Far North Queensland

What to do in Cape Tribulation, Queensland, Australia

Daintree River to Cooktown

Things to do from the Daintree River up to Cooktown. The main thing to do is not very much. Try to take some time out in this remarkable area. Slow down, take it easy and rest a while. Memories you take with you will last you a lifetime but only if you allow yourself the time to really experience this incredible place.

2 (2) The Daintree Coast / Cape Tribulation, Far North Queensland

Cape Tribulation, Far North Queensland

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 its magical appeal.

The Cassowary or ‘big chooks,’

Cassowary

Along the Coasts Road bitumans component up to Cape Trib you'll see speed humps. They are not for people but for the above who has yet to evolve road sense. Cassowaries are endangered, please don't make it worse. Slow down. If you want to see one get into the Daintree Forest with a local guide.

17 (3) Do Nothing at Daintree / Cape Tribulation

Err....so not alot to add really. The Daintree Coast boasts the top nothings worth not doing. So nothing much to add other than just do it...nothing that is. Its not easy and takes practice but you'll get the hang of it.

20 (79) The Coast Road, Cairns to Cooktown

The Coast Road runs from Cairns to Cooktown through the pristine Daintree rainforest. Fulfils to romantic notion of driving around Australia. So rather than dodging semi-trailers and road trains why not just focus on the best bits.

21 (82) Bloomfield Track, North of Cape Tribulation

It is possible to self 4WD Bloomfield Track but you risk missing out on experiencing the surrounding scenery or getting yourself and passengers into trouble. Let someone else do the work.

28 (19) Cooktown

Where Captain Cook came ashore to fix his boat. Cooktown is worth a visit not only for the history but more for the friendly relaxed nature of the place. If you are in a hurry, grab a tour. If you can stay, you may find it hard to leave.

75 (21) Daintree Coast Rainforest Board Walk

Fan Palms Board Walk. After a fruit tasting go for civilised stroll through the rainforest.

79 (11) Daintree Eco Centre

Daintree Eco Centre is a very pleasant and informative way to spend a few hours. The treetops look great. Its just, well, the Daintree Eco Centre lacks a bit of punch. If you reach a state of chill down then get down and get up and do it. But if you never make don’t beat yourself up over it.
