Queensland Parks & Reserves

• Queensland Parks and Reserves

Lush tropical rainforests and valleys meet the ocean with stunning landscapes and glorious deserted beaches. An Australian nature wonderland that photographers dream of and nature lovers hope to visit.

The Daintree National Park is for wildlife, flora and fauna conservation as well as nature-based recreation. The traditional owners of the region are the Kuku Yalanji. They ask that you respect this wonderful place.

Daintree River

One way into the Daintree is via the Daintree Ferry. The only cable ferry in tropical Australia will take you to the southern part of the lowland Daintree Rainforest allowing you explore on your own.

Or take a a cruise down the Daintree River, which snakes its way through the ancient and spectacular Daintree Rainforest. Croc spotting, barramundi fishing and bird watching are popular pursuits on the river.

Daintree National Park

Listed as a World Heritage Area in 1988, the park has prime examples of every epoch in earth’s evolutionary history. The forest dates back more than 140 million years, making it the oldest living rainforest on earth.

The park is divided into 3 main areas: Mossman Gorge, Daintree National Park and Cape Tribulation.

Mossman Gorge

In the Mossman Gorge part of the park, there are expert guided tours available from the Kuku Yalanji people here. Join one of their rainforest walks to Aboriginal heritage sites and other special places.

With them you can learn how the traditional owners found sources of food (bush tucker), medicines, aboriginal art and Dreamtime beliefs during their fascinating 1.5 hour easy walk tour. You’ll see bush turkeys, timid jungle perch suspended in crystal clear pools, and water rushing over mossy rocks in this pristine wilderness.

Cape Tribulation

Cape Tribulation, named by Captain Cook when his ship the Endeavour struck a reef at this point of his first journey. Unique flora and fauna are found here, you can participate in Eco Tours and take a cruise along the Daintree River to spot saltwater crocodiles.

At Cape Tribulation, the coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef meet land. Which would explain why it was here that Captain Cook struck the reef. Today, there are cruises available for snorkelling, diving and fishing, or simply enjoying the ambience and sunsets.
