The beach is straight down the road, to walk it will take you about 20 minutes, in a car no time at all. How far is Rainforest Hideaway from the beach? See the Daintree maps page for more info and driving directions. Keep yourself and especially the kids away from the water's edge if you wait here, crocodiles are quick and strong enough to drag horses in to the water so a child is an easy snack. The current return fare is $27.- per car(2017).
This ferry runs up and down continuously from 6 am till midnight seven days a week. To reach Cape Tribulation you will have to cross the Daintree river with the cable ferry.
if you are only going as far as Cape Tribulation you will not need a four wheel drive, the road has been sealed all the way since 2001 and there are bridges over the creeks, only if you plan to head further north on the coast road on the Bloomfield Track you will need one. In a world going more and more developed and busy the Daintree is an oasis of peace and greenery. The Daintree adjoins the Great Barrier Reef and UNESCO has recognized both as outstanding areas of scientific value and spectacular beauty and listed both the Daintree National Park and the Great Barrier Reef as World Heritage Areas. Some trees have been discovered that were previously thought to be extinct for millions of years! The Daintree rainforest contains many plants and animals that are rare, endangered, or live nowhere else than here. The Amazon rainforest might be more famous, but is "only" about 20 million years old.
The Daintree contains some of the last surviving ancient rainforest, which according to the scientists has been virtually unchanged for at least 120 million years. In 1988 UNESCO declared Cape Tribulation National Park a World Heritage Area because of its outstanding value and beauty, once again local and state government protested to no avail. In 1981 the rainforests surrounding the privately owned land were declared Cape Tribulation National Park, under protest from local council and state government who wanted to keep it as a State Forest, so it would be available for logging. Marijuana growing, smoking and running around naked on the beaches were the main activities during this decade. In the 1970s Cape Tribulation was discovered by the hippies and it became the end of the London-Kathmandu-Cape Tribulation overland trail. If Cook had sunk his ship here then he never would have made it futher to claim Australia for the British and the continent would have remained as New Holland.
It has a colourful history, known as Kurangee by Aborigines for thousands of years and renamed Cape Tribulation by James Cook as this was the place where his tribulations (trouble) began. north of the Daintree river in the Daintree National Park. Just requested a quote from Jellyfish so we'll see what they say if/when they come out.Cape Tribulation is situated 36km. I tried having an Everlight guy come out around the same time but he no-showed. Those Jellyfish lights actually look really good from a functionality perspective, but damn, just a 1 year warranty?Įdit: And in case you're looking for some ballpark price estimates, I had Trimlight come out and do a quote for the front of my house, and for 188 feet of double strand lighting with 12 jumps they said $3k (which was apparently an off-season $600 discount off of the usual price, but I don't know how legit that is since I don't have anything to compare it against).

The upside was that you could buy the kit and install yourself, but I'm kind of in the same boat as you with a high/pitched roof, so I think I'm just going to have someone come out and install. Appreciate you posting this!Īt the time, the big thing that was turning me away from Everlight was that they just drill holes into your flashing/gutters. Was looking into this a few months ago and was torn between Trimlight/Everlight, but had never heard of Jellyfish.
