Cape Tribulation & the Daintree

From Mossman we drove onto Cape Tribulation, stopping at a lookout over the mouth of the Daintree River to then find a found a place to camp where the kids enjoyed a swim in the pool. The next day we drove further up Cape Tribulation to the beginning of the Bloomfield Track.

We had hoped to drive the Bloomfield track but it is closed due to the extended wet season. But we climbed a giant fig tree and vines, found some water holes where there were no crocodiles, explored some beaches, and went for a walk through one of the tracks in the Daintree Rainforest. We could not get photos which truly represented the beauty of the rainforest; you need to be able to take a panoramic photo from the ground, right up to the very top of the tree tops. It was another world inside the rainforest.

It would also be great to see this area in sunny weather, and also later in the year when all the wet season runoff was gone so that the ocean was blue instead of current brown colour. The landscape was stunning, but you can just imagine amazing it can look.
