Cape Tribulation itself is a promontory of land jutting out into the Coral Sea off the northern coast of Queensland, Australia at a latitude of 16? The rain forest ecosystem and micro climate have enabled the survival of a concentration of primitive and ancient plant species that has no parallel on earth. The area is home to many species of native mammals, birds and butterflies, many of which are found nowhere else. Captain James Cook named Cape Tribulation, because here began all our troubles, when his ship ran aground on what is now obvious as endeavor reef off the coast in 1770. But before the arrival of Europeans it was home to the Aboriginal people of the Kuku Yalanji tribe. Cape Tribulation is now renowned as an extraordinary area of spontaneous beauty and ecotourism. With its warm climate, lush tropical rain forest, white sand beaches, fringing reefs and proximity to the Vast Barrier Reef (another World Heritage Area) it is a unique and unspoilt destination for travelers of all kinds. It is one of only two tiny areas in the world where the rain forest meets the reef and the only store on earth where two world heritage sites border one another. There are also numerous companies offering healthy priced transport and accommodation packages from Cairns which include a number of nights at PK's, plus stops and tours along the way including Daintree River Crocodile Cruises, Moss man Gorge, and Port Douglas. When it rains, it really rains! !.
