Cape Tribulation
... br> Über noch kurvigere Strassen fahren wir nun durch einen imposanten und faszinierenden Regenwald bis Cape Tribulation. Die Bäume sind gewaltig. Manchmal sieht man etwas Himmel, gelegentlich auch das Meer, meist ist es aber ziemlich dunkel, ungefähr wie im Schwarzwald, nur sind hier die Bäume sehr viel höher.
Der Campingplatz ist praktisch am Meer, wir müssen nur ca. 10m Regenwald durchqueren, und schon ...
