Cape Tribulation in Tropical North Queensland

摘要

Adventure and exciting times can be experienced by driving north from Cairns to Cape Tribulation, stopping off at places like Palm Cover, Port Douglas, Mossman and Ferntree. There are wildlife cruises, cultural habi-tat tours, beaches, boardwalks, lookouts, wildlife sanctuaries and plenty of places to hike. You can see Cassowary birds, crocodiles, snakes, kangaroos and more at the various animal sanctuaries, view all sorts of exotic plants and fruits, and meet members of the Kuiki Yualanki people whohave lived in this area for tens of thousands of years (learn more at www.walkerfamilytours.com.). However, pared. If you are planning to drive any farther north than Cape Tribulation to Cooktown, you will need a 4-wheel drive vehicle. If you are only going as far as Cape Tribulation, a standard rental car will do, but the roads are meandering, narrow and variably paved. The bridges are creaky and rustically charming. As salutary as that all sounds, in a split second you can be scared to death by somenumbskull tearing around a turn on your side of the road. We used our horn a lot; make sure yours functions as it should.
