Cape
Tribulation in the Daintree Rainforest, Far North Queensland,
is accurately described as “where the rainforest meets the reef”.
The
Great Barrier Reef is possibly the best known of the Seven Natural
Wonders of the World.
It
was protected by World Heritage listing in 1981.
The
Daintree National Park was World Heritage
listed in 1988. It is the most ancient virgin rainforest on earth and
is second only in size to the Amazon.
Its
lush tropical jungle fringes the deserted golden sand beaches of the
Coral Sea & Pacific Ocean.
Here
the Great Barrier Reef, which stretches almost 2000Km
along the Queensland coastline, is at one of its closest points to the
coast. It is the largest living coral reef on earth and is the only
living thing visible from outer space.
