CAPE TRIBULATION

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

LOCATION: Approx. 150km north of Cairns

The cape itself was named by Captain Cook its founder, in the late 1700's, since it was just a little north of here

that his troubles tribulations started when he ran his ship on to the Endeavour Reef. In the '70's it was a hippie

outpost with a number of settlements, particularly at the infamous Cedar Bay, further north towards Cooktown.

Today with further improvements to the road, Cape Tribulation is becoming more popular for visitors. It's not

surprising as this stretch of the coast is incredibly beautiful. It's one of the few places in Australia where the

rainforest runs right down to the water. The Wet Tropical Rainforests here are now protected by World Heritage

Laws so tourists have the privledge of visiting unspoilt virgin rainforest and crystal clear jungle creeks.
