We started our we back toward Cairns. We stopped again for a night in the house in the middle of the rain forest and from there went to Cape Tribulation.

Nestled deep in the World Heritage Listed Daintree Rainforest about 830km shy of the very northernmost tip of Australia, Cape York, is the tiny settlement of Cape Tribulation. We boarded the early morning tour bus which would eventually take us to our accommodation and when Lisa, the maddest Aussie we've met yet, introduced us to a bus full of p...

The only place on earth where rain forest directly meets the beach?? Very lush landscape complete with croc and cossowary (big endangered bird) warning signs...this is not the place to take a quick dip in the creek. A peaceful meandering drive brought us to a quiet campsite with an eccentric manager who talked for Australia and lent us a bedshee...

What a turnaround of events!! I thought I was going to be staying up here until the end of November working as a DM on Rum Runner & now I'm heading back down to Cairns later on today! It has been a great few weeks though up here in the Daintree Rainforest. I had 2wks working on Rum Runner which was fab..........great experience, really nice ...

We took the 4wd and headed north again up into the rain forest of Cape Tribulation National Park. Our first stop was the Aboriginal site called Mossman Gorge owned by Kuku Yalanmji tribe about 30m drive from Port Douglas. After a short stop we pushed north again and crossed the Daintree River (infested by crocs) and entered the National Park. We...

Sorry it's gone a bit quiet recently - two factors have influenced. Jo arrived on the 19th so we've been catching up (mainly over red wine!). We've also been on a little trip north up to Cape Tribulation to get rained on in the rain forest and go out to the reef. Cape Tribulation is the only place on earth where two national parks coincide - rai...

On Saturday we left the outback and drove up to Cape Tribulation. Unfortunately we had just missed Sandra (they had made it to Cairns safe and well a few days earlier) but had organised to meet her in Cairns in the next few days. Jo had had to head off quite quickly as had to make it down the coast by Christmas. We could tell we had left the out...

We arrived in Cape Tribulation quite late, but we had planned a night hike through the rain forest. It was all good aside from yet another disgruntled guide who didn't seem that interested, but we had an enjoyable walk anyway. We saw some funky frogs, some massive lizards and spiders, and Nik even enjoyed it, although maybe not so much when we ...

so we landed in tourist-central of northern queensland, Cairns, on Aug. 28...checked into this dirty hostel on the esplanade...this place was like a giant Wasaga beach in the tropics with a blue ocean...we only spent a nite and a day there..picked up out rental car...a beauty Ford stationwagon that only starts after 20 minutes of turning the key...

We planned to stay the night up at Cape Tribulation, the rainforest about 200km north of Cairns. We went via The Atherton Tablelands, which is a collection of little villages in the mountains to the west of Cairns. While there, we drove through the rainforest on a gravel road, stopped at a dam, and didn't get too excited at the whole place. The ...
