As far as picture postcard perfection goes, the tropical north of Queensland is about as close as it gets. North of the activity packed town of Cairns, Port Douglas is a sophisticated coastal resort within easy reach of the dense virgin rainforests of the Daintree and Cape Tribulation. Harking back millions of years, the earth’s oldest rainforests plunge to the sea, alive with the sounds and colours of an extraordinary array of birds and wildlife. Further north, the rugged terrain and rushing rivers of Cape York render it exhilarating 4WD country, while the estuarine crocodiles are a vivid reminder that this is indeed the great outdoors.
