wise23girl Says: To see a cassowary chick in the wild is a very rare delight. Apparently the Mum leaves the minding to Daddy Cassowary so what we saw was Daddy and joy oh joy two babies.When our guide first spotted the Cassowary it was a big "SHUSH" and we tiptoed back along the pathway...
Alain_Smeets Says: Cape Tribualtion is assume, it's an amazing place to visit. It's one of Australia's wonders, as there are many in this land. But you can't give Cape Tribulation a miss if you are in the area.You can do here some nice walks in the rainforest and it has a nice big beach where...
Alain_Smeets Says: I know now why many people are visiting Mossman Gorge, it seems to be one of the most visited spots in the Wet Tropics. Mossman Gorge is located in the Daintree National park, and is the traditional home of the Kuku Yalanji Aboriginal people. The Mossman River runs here...
ValbyDK Says: Daintree Discovery Centre is an educational nature park with focus on the lowland rainforest in Far North Queensland. There are 400 metres of elevated, timber boardwalk that you can follow through an enclosed rainforest environment. We followed the track and had a closer...
ValbyDK Says: Jindalba is a 700 meter boardwalk circuit through the rainforest. The circuit takes about 30 minutes, and is a really nice walk where you can see and learn about the rainforest environment. There were a small creek, and many plants, flowers, and trees – for instance king...
ValbyDK Says: When we drove north from Daintree Village and the Daintree Ferry we passed a few view points with spectacular view of the Daintree area. We stopped at the Alexandra Range Lookout (Walu Wugirriga) and enjoyed the beautiful view of the Daintree River mouth, the coastline, and...
ValbyDK Says: On the road from Cairns to Daintree Village we passed a couple of signs for 'Bruce Belcher Daintree River Cruises’, and it looked so interesting that we decided to check it out. We turned right at a small dirt road and drove towards the Daintree River, and there – nearly...
Australian Fan Palm and Cassowaries.
euzkadi Says: The lowlands rainforest of the Daintree contains some of the most endangered type of rainforest in the world. The Mesophyll Vine Forest home of the magnificent Fan Palm is one of them, this type of vegetation occurs on poorly drained soils inundated during the summer wet...

PK's Restaurant: Not Many Choices Here
Jmill42 Says: Being as isolated as possible, you might suspect that there aren't very many options for eating here. And, you would be correct. But, with only two options you might expect the prices to be jacked up, but they are not thankfully. The restaurant offers good food and good...
Crossroads Cafe.: Great Place.
euzkadi Says: We only stopped here some minutes to have a coffee, but i found the place great, so authentic. A really cool place in the middle of nowhere to enjoy some beers with your friends hearing good music. Maybe the stereotype of Australia i imagined.
crocodylus village bar: not much...
leahcallan Says: ok you're in the middle of the rainforest, don't expect much, the best nightlife around here are the animals and night tours of the rainforest... which is enough nightlife for me :-P the bar is a good cozy place to hang out but it'll close by midnight, and it is fun to watch...
ValbyDK Says: When going north from Daintree Village, you must cross the Daintree River - and the north and south banks are linked by the Daintree Ferry.The Ferry is a cable ferry and it operates from 6am until midnight - seven days a week. Tickets are purchased on board the ferry. We...
Ferry across the Daintree river
Alain_Smeets Says: If you want to reach the Daintree rainforest you will have to get across the Daintree river. This river separates the Daintree rainforest from the rest of Australia. In some brochures they tell you that passing over this crocodile infested river is an symbolic entry into the...
wise23girl Says: If this is not for you read on...These jellyfish have long tentacles and each tentacle has small barbs all over its surface. And it is the volume of toxin from myriads of barbs clinging to your skin which cause the problem.The jellyfish are around mainly in the summer...
wise23girl Says: If you do not want this to happen to you listen to the warnings. Do not even put your hand near the water or your elbows out over the side of the boat.Would you believe there were people swimming on Cape Tribulation Beach. And they passed the warning sign to get there.The...
euzkadi Says: A triangular flat shape fish that lives in warm and tropical areas. It´s very common in Cape Tribulation area. They are venomous and produce severe penetrating injuries. They are not aggresive but stings occasionaly occur when a ray is accidentaly stepped on. So take special...
bluesmama Says: This goes for all of Australia (except the centre obviously). There are so many beautiful bays along the way.This bay was somewhere in the far north of Queensland and we were told that this is where they filmed the opening scenes of the movie "The thin red Line"
Jmill42 Says: Be sure to stay well hydrated in the summer months, as it can get amazingly hot. My suggestion is to just stay by the pool on the hottest days, and do other activities on the cooler days. PK's pool is great and has a volleyball net to boot. Stay cool!
Jmill42 Says: What else would you expect from Australia but prefect white sand beaches? Well, Cape Tribulation / Daintree will do nothing to change that. A short walk through the jungle from PK's Village is a very nice beach.
