Rainforest Hideaway - Cape Tribulation bed and breakfast accommodation & sculpture trail in the Daintree rainforest of tropical north Queensland Australia

the ecology of this ancient rainforestThis track became very well known in 1983 after it hit the news headlines when council bulldozers pushed the track through the Daintree Rainforest in spite of strong protests by greenies who even dug themselves in the ground and chained themselves to trees.

At times the crossing of the Bloomfield river can add to the adventure, in February 2011 it washed away, a passnger ferry was the only way to cross for a few months until council constructed this temporary causeway in May 2011.
