Ant Bums by swagman

You will notice that there are loads of green ants. We heard you can eat them and it turns out to be true. You more just lick their bums (kind of crude I know but that is what you do) and it has a kind of fizzy tingling sensation.

Cape Trib is awesome. It is basically as far north as you can go without four wheel drive. It truly is a great place to get out and explore.

Cape Trib Bat House by huskr84

I had the privelage of staying at the Tropical Research Center located at Cape Tribulation. This is such a unique area, and so far in my life, this is the most beautiful place that I have ever seen. If you are ever in Cairns, take the opportunity to drive a couple of hours and plan to spend a few days there to see dense rainforest, swim in crystal clear water holes, and see all of the wildlife there.

Hostel in the middle of a rainforest by bizquik

Cape Trib is one of the coolest places I have been to in the world. We stayed in a hostel in the middle of a rainforest, took a night tour, and visited very cool places along the way including a tropical fruit stand!

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Cape Tribulation by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 The tiny fishing village of Port Douglas is where the rainforest meets the reef. Just over an hour's drive from Cairns, through rainforest and along the sea, Port Douglas may be a one-horse town, but stylish shops and seriously trendy restaurants line the main street, and beautiful Four Mile Beach is not to be missed. This is a favorite spot with celebrities big and small -- you may find yourself dining next to anyone from Bill Clinton to Kylie Minogue, Sean Penn to the Australian rock band Midnight Oil to a minor soap star. Travelers often base themselves in "Port," as the locals call it, rather than in Cairns, because they like the rural surroundings, the uncrowded beach, and the absence of tacky development (so far, anyway). Don't think you will be isolated -- many reef and rainforest tours originate in Port Douglas, and many of the tours discussed in the Cairns section above pick up from Port Douglas. (read article)
