Once you cross the Daintree River, you enter into a region that is home to the oldest rainforest on the planet. Cape Tribulation is a small village nestled in the heart of this rainforest and is where the frontier of Queenslands' north really begins. As you pass through the lowland and tropical rainforest make sure to take some time and explore these areas as they have excellent coastal lookouts. This area is literally where the great barrier reef meets the rainforest. You can drive yourself or take a tour up the Bloomfield Track. This is the major coastal highway north, Most times will will need a Four Wheel Drive (4WD) vehicle to drive alongside the coast. You can day trip to Cape Tribulation from Port Douglas and Cairns, but there are camping spots and accommodation options available for those who would like to spend a little more time exploring the area.
