Some helpful hints and reminders:
-Cape Tribulation has no street lights, bring a torch if your
walks might stretch out past six o'clock, the nights are very
dark.
-There are no ATMs in Cape Tribulation, your last chance to stock
up on cash is Mossman.
Limited cash withdrawals can be made at the local shop through
EFTPOS on Australian accounts.
-At Rainforest Hideaway there are no mosquitoes at night so there
is no need to stock up on repellents.
-Many people are not aware they can go the reef from Cape Tribulation,
there are daily trips and you can even do a scuba-dive course
here, highly recommended!
-North of the Daintree river keep your speed down, you will enjoy
the scenery more and save the endangered cassowary that can very
unexpectedly step out on the road. Many people arrive in Cape
Tribulation unaware of what a cassowary is and mistake the scrubhens
for cassowaries.
An adult cassowary is 1.5 to 2 metres tall and a collision with
one of these birds would do some real damage to both the bird,
your rental car and your wallet.

it is filled with information meant to help you plan an
enjoyable visit to this area.
