Welcome to Cape Tribulation, where the Rainforest meets the Reef.
Covering 1200 square kilometres, the Daintree Rainforest is tens of millions of years older than the Amazon and contains living examples of unique ancient plants, as well as thousands of species of birds, animals and reptiles.
Cape Tribulation - or Cape Trib, as it is known locally - was named by Lieutenant James Cook on June 10, 1770 after his ship scraped a reef north east of the cape, whilst passing over it, at 6pm. Cook steered away from the coast into deeper water but at 10.30pm the ship ran aground, on what is now named Endeavour Reef.
This is a great spot to start exploring Cape Trib, with easy access to a nearby safe swimming spot, and the picturesque Myall Beach and rainforest boardwalks.
The cache is a small container hidden within easy reach of the car park, and there is some room for swaps. BYO pencil. You DO NOT need to access private property, but the owner has provided consent for the cache to be hidden here.
Please leave the Daintree as you found it - as beautiful as ever, and enjoy your time at Cape Tribulation.
