Cape Tribulation, Queensland, Australia is a long way from home, 3,578 km (2,223 miles) as the crow flies. Cape Tribulation is a renowned, biologically diverse headland in Queensland's Daintree National Park where the world's oldest rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef. The Daintree was named by Captain James Cook on June 10, 1770, after his ship Endeavour struck a reef nearby. The population of this area 123 people.
The Daintree is of course tropical so has a dry and wet season.
The Chemist place is before you see a fair way from the signs.
You can see from the map where the State of Tasmania is to Cape Tribulation in Queensland, Australia.
Great post, Margaret. Information I didn't know about Queensland's Daintree National Park. That's a special corner of the world. It's worth a visit.
ReplyDeleteLovely post!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos, Margaret!
ReplyDeleteThis is a truly beautiful park with wild nature, something you rarely find anywhere else.
I wish you a wonderful Wednesday.
All the best, Irma
Margaret is the oldest natural ecosystem in the world, with 160 million years. Considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it hosts a practically intact jungle. Let us hope that humans do not alter it through their activities. This summer, the fires have left us without many of the millennial trees that we had in the forests of Argentine Patagonia.
ReplyDeleteThe plants look very tropical. It's beautiful there. Are there crocodiles in the area?
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Il posto è meraviglioso.
ReplyDeletePeccato che sia così lontano da casa vostra e ancora più lontano dalla mia
Dear Margaret, what a great post. Beautiful photos. ❤️
ReplyDeleteEine wunderbare Landschaft auf der anderen Seite der Welt. Solche unberührten Wälder gibt es hier nicht. Ich genieße die schönen Fotos.
ReplyDeleteSuch great memories for you, with great photos to remind you of the details.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice place to visit.
ReplyDeleteA lovely post, great photographs and information.
ReplyDeleteAustralia is so vast! Many thanks for sharing the map, I do appreciate it.
All the best Jan
What a beautiful place to see and explore.
ReplyDeleteI always thank you for the maps you share Margaret, because it gives me not only a great geography lesson but also a feel for the distances. I never knew about this rainforest and I loved your photos. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, tímto příspěvkem jsi mě příjemně překvapila. Je to nejen zajímavé, ale jako milovnice historie a zeměpisu to vnímám nejen jako krásu této oblasti, ale když tu máš mapu a jméno Jamese Cooka, název lodi a další údaje, začala jsem pátrat v minulosti vašeho kontinentu a třeba někdy také něco vytvořím.
ReplyDeleteAť se daří! 🍀
Great area - I thoroughly enjoyed my visit up there with mates many moons ago.
ReplyDeleteThankfully we missed the monsoonal rains.
Yep there are CROCODILES - fresh water I think, but then a crocodile is to be avoided
unless you want a part of you removed - FREE !!! ha ha.
Terrible weather here at Terrigal so no one in the surf and there have been really high
tides - up to the beach steps!
Cheers
Colin
