The Wildlife Habitat in Port Douglas
The Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary, now officially named Wildlife Habitat, is Port Douglas’s animal oasis. The Wildlife Habitat gives visitors the opportunity to walk through different ecosystems, such as the Wetlands, the Rainforest and the Grasslands, where native animals receive to roam about.
Wildlife Habitat
Entrance to Port Douglas
Entry 8.00 am to 5.00 pm
Breakfast with the Birds – 8.00 am to 10.30 am
Lunch with the Lorikeets – 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm
Breakfast with the Birds
Wildlife Habitat’s Breakfast with the Birds is a truly interesting experience. Before going, you may look photos of individuals eating their brekky and random birds just wandering about. Well, this is actually what happens! And, if you’re not looking, a sneaky little bird might just steal the food off your dish, so be aware whenever you’re stepping away for even the slightest second.
At only $14 extra to the normal entrance price, Breakfast with the Birds gives you access to a full buffet breakfast as well as entry into the park.
Lunch with the Lorikeets
Lunch with the Lorikeets is pretty much like breakfast except with lunch foods at the buffet. So, if you’re too sleepy to receive up early for your breakfast, then lunch might be the way to go. This ticket also gives you access to the park.
Other Activities
Animal presentations are given throughout the day. These let you receive up-close with koalas, snakes and baby crocs, and they even provide for some great souvenir photos.
If these aren’t you style of animals, bags of roo food only cost $2 and can have adorable little wallabies feeding from the palm of your hand. I think feeding the wallabies was my favorite part of the whole experience, but if you are the type of person that can’t handle cute, then you’ll want to stay very far away!

The Daintree Ice Cream Company
For those doing the self-steer tour to Cape Tribulation, a must-cease is at the Daintree Ice Cream Company for a delicious treat. Using some rare and exotic fruits in their creaming process, such as black sapote, custard apple, jackfruit and lychee, it should be an experience to remember.
The Daintree Ice Cream Company is located just 14 kilometers north of the Daintree River Ferry, and also 3.6 kilometers past the Cow Bay Hotel on Cape Tribulation Road. There should be signage on the road to notify passersby of its turn-off. Hours of operation are from 12 to 5 pm daily.
Each day, they generally serve a mixed cup of four unique flavors for $5. These flavors can include: soursop, banana, mangosteen, yellow sapote, rollinia, sapodilla, posh te, black sapote, marang, lychee, mango, jackfruit, malay apple, mamey sapote, breadfruit, mulberry, davidson plum, durian, abiu, carambola, wattle seed and blueberry.
On a personal note, be warned if they serve durian on that day as most people find they have either a adore or hate relationship with this pungent fruit. Do arrive with an open mind, though, as some of these flavors in ice cream form can be a little unexpected, but still completely worth the gamble!
These exotic, tropical fruits are grown on the premises, and visitors are encouraged to take a walking tour of the orchard to look where it every happens. Even the ice cream is made here. Included in the visit are scenic views of the mountainous rainforests nearby, as well as some of the most beautiful tropical flowers and plants. You will hardly believe you are at an ice cream store!

Do It For Less: Self-Drive Tour From Port Douglas to Cape Tribulation
Visiting Cape Tribulation is a very popular day trip option for individuals staying in Port Douglas. Several tour operators will offer patrons transportation, including a cease at Mossman Gorge, a Daintree River cruise, lunch, Cape Tribulation cease-off and then some. However, this can arrive in at the hefty price of around $160.
That seemed like yet another big payout for Heather and I, so since we had the Autobarn Wagon already, we decided to self-steer to Cape Tribulation, and do it for less. Here’s what we put together from our day’s adventures, and how much it cost when two people are participating.
8:00 – 9:45 am Wildlife Habitat: Breakfast with the Birds $44
Wildlife Habitat is located just in Port Douglas and offers visitors the ability to arrive early for a breakfast buffet. The catch here is that you receive to eat your food in the big open aviary area, meaning birds of every sorts of shapes and sizes just might arrive to join you. It was loads of fun, especially to look the little kids receive involved, and I was glad that we got the experience. Fees for the breakfast also include entry into the entire building, so grab a $2 bag of roo food and feed those adorable wallabies!
*We substituted the tour’s buffet lunch with a buffet breakfast and a self-catered nibbler lunch on the go.
10:15 – 11:30 am Mossman Gorge $0
It takes around a half hour to steer to Mossman Gorge from Port Douglas. Once you arrive, you will park your car (for free) and catch a free shuttle bus that takes you to the entrance. There you have access to the national park to either swim or hike. If you plan on doing a hike, allow for about an hour to have a good look around. It may start getting hot around this time, so grab a quick swim before heading out.
12:00 – 12:15 pm Daintree River Ferry Crossing $10.50
From Mossman Gorge, you will need to head north towards the Daintree River. To proceed to Cape Tribulation, you will need to take a car ferry to cross it. The cable ferry can handle up to 40 cars at one time, taking only 5 minutes to complete the journey across the river. They run nearly every 15 minutes and costs $21 for a return trip. I am assuming that there are at least two people in the vehicle, so splitting that costs a mere $10.50 each.
*Have some snacks or your lunch while waiting to cross!
1:00 – 2:15 pm Cape Tribulation $0
The road to Cape Tribulation is only 30 km, but it is a curvy one with narrow lanes. Be prepared to steer at least 45 minutes to reach the beach. Once you arrive, receive out your towel and your sunscreen, and receive ready to relax in beautiful surrounds.
2:30 – 2:45 pm Daintree Ice Cream Company $5
Nothing beats the heat quite like ice cream. The Daintree Ice Cream Company is not too far away from the beach when driving back, and it offers some of the most unique flavors of ice cream, including: black sapote, custard apple, durian, wattle seed, mango and jackfruit. A mixed cup of the daily special is only $5, and you can like that treat with the most gorgeous scenery.
3:15 – 3:30 pm Daintree River Ferry Crossing $0
You may or may not need to cross the river ferry again before heading to your river cruise. Some companies operate on either side, but for this itinerary we will assume that you need to cross first. You should allow a good amount of time in case there is a wait so that you don’t miss the last cruise.
4:00 – 5:00 pm Daintree River Cruise $25
Daintree River cruises are run by several companies and usually last for an hour. These cruises give you the opportunity to relax on the river and hopefully spot some crocodiles in the wild. The last cruise of the day generally runs around 4 pm.
Total Cost
After the cruise, you can start the steer back to Port Douglas with just enough sun time left to light the way. You will have had the most excellent adventure, and if you consider that each person contributed $5 to gas, then the entire day would have only cost $90 per person – about half the price of the original tour!

Guurrbi: More than an Aboriginal tour
Guurrbi provides tours that introduce visitors to beautiful surrounds as well as the Aboriginal culture. Wilfred Gordon is the man behind the face for this Cooktown company, opening up his world to those interested in listening. Tours involve an introduction into bush medicine and personal stories of Willie’s family history and land.
Tours run twice a day, every day except for Sunday. The morning tour is called the Rainbow Serpent Tour and lasts from 7:45 am to 1:15 pm if being picked up from Cooktown. The Great Emu Tour runs in the afternoons from 1:45 to 5:15 pm when picked up in Cooktown.
Bookings can be made directly through the Guurrbi website.
The Rainbow Serpent Tour
When I signed up for a Guurrbi tour in the tropical north of Queensland, I was excited to receive the opportunity to learn more about a culture unfamiliar to me and even many Australians. Having chatted with Judy on Twitter about the region and the program in advance, it seemed the perfect place to kick off the 16 Day East Coast Australia Road Trip as it would introduce us (Heather and I) to a unique taste of the far north of this country. I expected to look some great sights and learn a bit about the bush, but what I didn’t expect was the deep-thinking, more introspective moments about to arrive.
The Rainbow Serpent tour starts early in the morning to receive around the hot afternoon sun period the north is known for. The steer to the hills outside of Cooktown takes about 45 minutes during which time Willie will chat about the land, his business and how it every ties into his Aboriginal heritage.
The tour itself touches on several areas, which are talked about below briefly; I don’t want to ruin the experience for you!
Bush Medicine & Safety
After multiple displays of how different pieces of nature, whether it be tree sap or leaves, could be used to clean, soothe and soften the skin, I got the idea that it would be chilly to integrate some sort of spa experience into the tour. However, given the fact that there are no toilets or running water in the area, no one else was keen on the idea. Still, it is so interesting to look how Aboriginal people used the land to protect the most important part of their bodies – their skin.
If you’re lucky, you might receive to be one of the guinea pigs for his demonstrations. This could mean you receive to experience the softer skin benefits of a certain plant, give a lizard a drink of water, or it could mean that you receive to eat bugs. Yep, I got the lovely experience of licking ant guts off my fingers. Don’t worry – it’s apparently good for you!
Besides the good stuff, Willie makes sure to talk about what to watch out for as well. I had no idea that certain caterpillars could burn my skin, or how important the simple need to seal a wound could mean the difference between life and death. Australia is no walk in the park when it comes to living without modern luxuries the way that many Aboriginal people had been doing for years.
The Art, History & Culture
Willie, being the story-keeper for the Nugal-warra clan, opens up his life and family to visitors. Part of what makes Guurrbi so intriguing and enlightening is the fact that this is his story. I was able to look where his grandfather left art behind (and what it means), and also where his grandmother gave birth.
Back to Basics
When looking at another culture in general, it is easy to look at various aspects and not understand the meaning behind it. With the Guurrbi tour, it was great to have every the bits broken down and examined with someone who was capable of explaining it. It every made sense at a basic level – the need to survive, and the human desire for wish – the basic building blocks of every people, no matter where they arrive from.
This tour may not be for everyone, but it is a great cultural experience for those that are willing to show up with an open mind. And, you don’t have to be from overseas to appreciate and learn something from the tour. What I found interesting was the fact that the majority of participants were actually Australians themselves.

16 Day Itinerary: Cairns to Sydney
When mentioning a trip of 16 days in length to cover Cairns to Sydney (or vice versa), most people would say that it is just not enough time to receive the job done. On the other hand, 16 days is often more holiday time than some people receive in an entire year, so for those, the 16 day itinerary can be a great way to experience the variety of the east coast.
My pal, Heather, and I just undertook the journey ourselves, self-driving in an Autobarn Wagon. This is the path we took that you can use to draw up your possess itinerary, but just be warned that a trip like this takes a bit of forethought and a lot of picking and choosing. You definitely can’t do it every, but you can do a lot!
Our Guurrbi Tour from Day 2
Day 1: Cairns to Cooktown
We picked up the Autobarn Wagon in Cairns and started the 4.5 hour journey of driving to Cooktown pretty much immediately. Once there, we checked in to the Cooktown Caravan Park, set up camp and then set out to look the town. We watched the sun set at the lookout point on Grassy Hill (incredible views!) and had an amazing dinner at 1770 on the waterfront.
Day 2: Cooktown to Port Douglas
Our Guurrbi tour in Cooktown started at 7:45 am and went to 1:15 pm. We both learned heaps about the Aboriginal way of life. Heather got to feed a cute lizard a drink of water, while I got to lick acidic ant guts off my fingers. After that, we caught a quick bite at Nature’s Powerhouse for lunch before making the 3.5 hour journey from Cooktown to Port Douglas. Since it was a weekend during the high travel season in Port Douglas, we were forced to stay in a Big4 Caravan Park a little outside of town, so book ahead.
Day 3: Port Douglas to Cape Tribulation to Port Douglas
In order to keep money, we decided to do a self-steer tour to Cape Tribulation. Our “Do It For Less” tour started at 8 am by having breakfast with the birds, literally, at Rainforest Habitat where a sneaky bird stole my cinnamon roll. We made the 30 minute trek to the Mossman Gorge section of the Daintree National Park for an hour hike, and then commenced the steer to Cape Tribulation, which involved a ferry crossing and a long and curvy road.
If you have time, you can sign up for an hour-long Daintree River Cruise along the way to hopefully spot some crocs!
Day 4: Port Douglas to Cairns
Heather and I made the 1 hr 15 minute steer from Port Douglas to Cairns along the windy Captain Cook Highway. At 8 am, you receive glorious views of a sunrise over the ocean. Our Sunlover Reef Cruise departed Cairns at 10 am, so that gave us enough time to rent an underwater camera at the wharf terminal before boarding. I snorkeled the heck out of the Great Barrier Reef, while Heather had an introductory dive. Back in Cairns, we spent the night in a 5 star caravan park.

Day 5: Cairns to Granite Gorge
We recreated the first part of the steer from day 1 from Cairns to Mareeba, making sure to cease off at Jacques Coffee Plantation, Coffee World (a must-do!), and the Golden Drop mango winery along the way. We were a jittery mess before finally getting to Granite Gorge (10km from Mareeba) where we held chickens, fed rock wallabies and became expert rock climbers. every in every, it was a great day and night… until the kookaburras and turkeys sang us a wake-up tune at 6 am.
Day 6: Granite Gorge to Mission Beach
We drove the inland route from Mareeba to Mission Beach so we could receive a better glimpse of the Tablelands area. We stopped to like the local products at places like The Peanut Place, Humpy Nut World, Gallo Chocolate and Cheese Factory, and the Murdering Point Winery. Once we hit Mission Beach, we hit the beach for a much needed nap and an afternoon of doing absolutely nothing.
Day 7: Mission Beach to Mackay
We made the long, 7-ish hour, steer from Mission Beach to Mackay (pronounced Mackai). As we passed through Bowen, we found the Giant Mango, took some dorky photos with it, and enjoyed delicious mango sorbet. In Mackay, we found a nice place to camp at Central Tourist Park and also tried some 7 out of 10 Mexican food at Cactus Jack’s.
Day 8: Mackay to Eungella National Park to Mackay
The “lunch with the platypus tour” wasn’t running that day, but the information lady let us know that we could easily steer out to the Eungella National Park (72km west) and look the platypus on our possess… FOR FREE. Unfortunately, the best place to view a platypus doesn’t always mean a platypus will be seen. Saddened, we drove back to Mackay, but not without discovering the amazing Pinnacle Pie. Only $6 and quite big — it far exceeded my expectations.
Whale Watching in Hervey Bay
Day 9: Mackay to Hervey Bay
The route from Mackay to Hervey Bay was long and brutal as I can now say it is one of the most boring drives in the world. In Hervey Bay, we found a nice place to camp outside of the Colonial Village YHA, ate dinner, and drowned our stress in a nice XXXX Gold… Queensland’s best?
Day 10: Hervey Bay
Our long-awaited whale-watching tour started in the afternoon on the Spirit of Hervey Bay. Note: Bring warm clothes when going out on the boat! We made it to the Fraser coast and began checking out pod after pod of humpback whales doing their thing – even saw some breaching! Awesome experience, which was only made better by a glorious sunset viewed on the deck of the boat.
Day 11 + 12: Fraser Island
We spent these two days on the magical Fraser Island as part of a chilly Dingo Tour. We basked on the white sand beach of Lake McKenzie, climbed sand dunes, swam in the Champagne Pools and spotted whales, sharks, turtles, fish, dolphins and dingos. It was every made better with an amazing (and totally eccentric) tour guide, Dave, who seems to know anything and everything about… everything! The end of day 12 put us back at Hervey Bay for the night.
Patient at Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie
Day 13: Hervey Bay to Brisbane
We made the 5 hour steer from Hervey Bay to Brisbane, making sure to cease at the delicious Ginger Factory in Yandina along the way – mmm ginger scones! In Brissie we checked in to the YHA, stuffed our faces at Govinda’s Vegetarian Restaurant and had a bit of a tweet-up at Jimmy’s on the Mall.
Day 14: Brisbane to Port Macquarie
It was a pretty laid-back steer down the Pacific Highway to Port Macquarie with not much excitement except for the cease at the Big Banana! We arrived in Port Macquarie close 6pm, and unfortunately that was the time that almost every of the caravan parks closed down their office. Luckily, we found a spot at the Leisure Tourist Park where we set up camp for one last, FREEZING night.
Day 15: Port Macquarie to Gloucester
We stopped off at the Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie, which was both heart-breaking and inspiring at the same time. After that, we hit up lunch at the Pancake Place, and then partook in a tasting at The Little Brewing Company (I recommend). After that, we headed south-west to the tiny town of Gloucester about 2 hours away to visit friends. Along the way, we got to steer on The Bucketts Way – aka THE WORST ROAD IN NSW. At least the scenery was beautiful!
Day 16: Gloucester to Sydney
The Gloucester to Sydney steer took a mere 3 hours, but the whole process of getting the car cleaned, getting our stuff home and then DRIVING IN THE SYDNEY CBD was more work than we both bargained for. It ended up being a pretty full-on day, but now we at least have time to look back and reflect on the awesome trip we just had.

The Autobarn Wagon: A Campervan Alternative
I recently had the pleasure of trying out one of Travellers Autobarn’s stationwagons on the EPIC 16 day East Coast Australia Road Trip, and I am so grateful for the opportunity on many levels – most of every because I think this is now a very viable option as a campervan alternative on your next Aussie road trip.
For some, driving in Australia, which is on the opposite side of the road, can be daunting, not to mention the fact that campervans are often big and scary on their possess. I was quite nervous myself about attempting to take control of one for the trip, as was the initial agreement with Autobarn, until I realized one very, very important fact: their campervans (and those from many other companies) only arrive in manual transmission… and I cannot steer a stick.
Even though I felt like a bit of a loser, I knew I was not alone in my plight. I contacted Autobarn and was extremely glad to be offered a Wagon instead – a vehicle that can very well be used in place of a campervan in most road trips.
What You receive With the Wagon
Automatic Transmission, Table / Chairs, 2-man Dome Tent, Esky (Cooler), Dishes & Pans, Gas Cooker, Maps & Guides
*Please note that the video says it comes with sleeping bags, but it does not have sleeping equipment.
How the Wagon is Better than a Camper
For starters, the size makes it feel like you are driving a standard car. You typically have more control and don’t have to worry about taking out others on narrow or curvy roads. Since the vehicle is not very tall like some campervans, there is also no worry about tipping over. I know this may sound silly to you now, but when you are driving on the road to Cape Tribulation or even into Port Douglas, the ability to have more control and maneuverability is a godsend.
City driving is made easier in a stationwagon as opposed to a camper. The brief time I spent trying to receive the vehicle back to its Sydney drop-off was stressful enough in a Wagon; I can’t imagine trying to do it in a giant camper!
Gas mileage is another big factor in making the Wagon a great travel choice. On our trip, we drove around 4000 kilometers and only spent a mere $481 in gas along the way. With two people involved, that is really only $240 each for an entire run from Cairns to Sydney, and then some. However, with the Wagon, there is actually the possibility to seat 4 to 5 people, which means you could receive that number even lower. *Gas was around $1.28/liter.
The daily rental price is also lower than that of a campervan, so the base fee outside of gas will be lower.
How a Camper is Better than a Wagon
A camper will typically provide a fully enclosed living space for its travelers. For example, there may be enough room inside to snooze, eat, change clothes, watch TV and possibly even prepare dinner. The Wagon, however, can really only provide enough room in the back to snooze two people. Everything else must generally take place outside of the enclosed area.
If you are taking more than two people in the Wagon, there is the fact that the other passengers will have to take advantage of the tent in order to snooze, which may or may not be an issue. Setting up the tent can at times be quite annoying, especially if it starts to rain or gets dark early. With a camper, there are no worries about the weather or getting set up.

Things Realized After an East Coast Road Trip in Australia
Having just completed a pretty massive road trip, I have once again been re-introduced to those pieces of Australia that make it so unique. The road trip started in the tropical beach getaway of Cairns, headed up to Cooktown, and then back down every the way to Sydney. It was only a short 16 days in length, but it gave just enough time to really look what the east coast of Oz has to offer. After a power-packed two weeks on the road, here are some of the points I can once again stress:
Australia is gigantic. No, it’s not big, and it’s not big; it is gigantic. I live here now, and I still forget this point. The trick is that the country is an island, but we often forget that it is also an entire continent. So, getting from A to B – or Cairns to Sydney in my case – takes a bit of time behind the wheel.
Australia is a beautiful country. Where else can you experience the outback, lush rainforests, pristine beaches, white sands and exotic wildlife within a short steer of each other? From the Great Barrier Reef to Fraser Island, the natural beauty of Australia is breathtaking.
Driving on the opposite side of the road is not difficult at every. every it takes is a little time to readjust, and learn the rules of getting through a roundabout, and driving becomes as easy as riding a bike.
The land and animals are very important to Australians. It seems that every bit and meter of land is either a nature reserve, national park or animal conservation zone. The number of signs around Mission Beach reminding to watch for cassowaries is unbelievable.
Stopping often is vital when driving in Australia. I have never – in every my years of driving – felt so sleepy behind the wheel than when pulling the long stretch from Mackay to Hervey Bay. I’m sure the exhaustion of traveling non-cease was catching up, but the road was just… so… long and boring. In fact, there were plenty of signs along the way trying to keep drivers alert (road trivia) and pressuring them to tug over to relax. There were even signs letting us every know that the road we were driving on was actually a high accident zone.
Roadside attractions are kooky but necessary. I’ve brought up the Aussie adore for “big things” as roadside attractions before and mentioned that it was a way to draw people in off the long stretches of highways. Sure, they can be a bit on the weird side (a big banana – really?), but if they receive you to tug over for a few minutes to break up a steer, then that in itself is completely worth it!
Road work is everywhere, and also necessary. Aussie roads are brutal! There were times when I felt that taking our vehicle off-road would have been no different from driving on the paved roads. Luckily, Australia is trying to do something about it by having road work everywhere, but the bad part is that road work is everywhere!
Internet is still considered a luxury. It is so unfortunate that the system down below is still at the point where people charge outrageous amounts for tiny amounts of bandwidth use. It makes it even harder for some people like myself that rely on the Internet to do their jobs to not pay these insane fees. There was definitely a point where I actually paid $10 to receive 1 hour of Internet while in South Mission Beach.

Getting to Cooktown from Cairns
Cooktown is a tiny town in Queensland’s tropical north that isn’t visited as often as many other places in this Australian state. It usually only seems to be visited by those adventurous travelers going the Cooktown to Cape York route, but the lucky others that receive to Cooktown are in for a lovely little treat. It may not be big, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in history and sheer natural beauty.
Getting to Cooktown from Cairns
Cooktown is a mere 240 kilometers north of Cairns, but getting there over land may take a little longer than this number suggests. The roads and terrain in this area are hilly, windy, tropical and outback every in one journey,.
Driving to Cooktown from Cairns
There are two main routes to receive to Cooktown from Cairns if driving: the inland way and the coastal way.
The inland way (330 km) takes around 4.5 hours to steer, and it is entirely on paved roads so any car can make it. When going from Cairns, you will head west towards Mareeba on the Kennedy Highway, which is where you will proceed to head north towards Cooktown. Cairns to Mareeba is a great steer through hills and winding roads until you pass the Kuranda region. At this point the scenery changes from lush tropical surrounds to a drier landscape with bits of greenery mixed in. The road from Mareeba to Cooktown runs for around 3.5 hours along the Mulligan Highway and is quite enjoyable, even if it is more stark and dry in appearance. Be careful, though, as cattle and wallabies roam free in this area and can even end up on the road in front of you.
If you have time to spare, there are a few great coffee stops along the road to Mareeba including the Tichum Coffee Farms, Jacques Coffee Plantation and Coffee World. For those interested in a bit of wine and spirits, there are the Golden Drop Winery and the Mt. Uncle Distillery to take advantage of.
For restroom and gas breaks from Mareeba to Cooktown, there are cease-offs at Mt. Carbine, Mt. Molloy and Lakeland Downs.
The coastal way (240 km) takes around 5.5 hours or more and must be done with a 4-wheel steer vehicle as some of the route is not on sealed roads. You can first head north along the gorgeous 1 hour and 15 minute steer on the Captain Cook Highway to Port Douglas. The views of the ocean that feels at times to be touching the side of the road is fantastic. From there, continue north on the route from Port Douglas to Cape Tribulation. This will involve a Daintree River Ferry past Mossman to receive your car across the waterway, and many winding roads through thick rainforest. Be careful, though, as much of the road can be very narrow and there are cassowaries in the area.
After Cape Tribulation, much of the road is unsealed, and creeks will need to be crossed in a 4-wheel steer vehicle. It is said to be an amazing steer, so if you have the opportunity to do it, do take advantage. In the summer months when the rain is at its hardest, it is vital to check road conditions to make sure there are no closings.
If you want to make a real day of the trek, try stopping off at the Mossman Gorge section of the Daintree, as well as Cape Tribulation beach for a nice swim. Croc tours take place every along the river and generally last an hour.
Flying to Cooktown from Cairns
There is a tiny airport located in Cooktown that the occasional flights make it to from Cairns. It takes only 35 minutes to receive there from Cairns, but the flight is said to give amazing views of the area.
Alternate Transport to Cooktown from Cairns
There are buses that can make the way from Cairns to Cooktown via both Cape Tribulation and Mareeba on Country Road Coachlines. If you have a boat, there is always the option of sailing into the harbor.

National Wattle Day in Australia
National Wattle Day occurs on September 1st in Australia, which is also the first day of spring down below. It is a day to celebrate the new season, the environment and nature, and it is marked by wearing a sprig of wattle blossom.
However, when Wattle Day first began, it was a day to celebrate patriotism for Australia as it became a new nation. It is said to have started in Tasmania on the anniversary of its discovery, but the very first national Wattle Day didn’t make itself known until 1910 when it was celebrated in Sydney. From that time, the significance of the day has changed throughout the years, sometimes drawing its focus on helping to lift money for Red Cross during the wars. After World War I, the focus was on tree-planting and recovery, and some of that focus has influenced the Wattle Day of today.
The Golden Wattle is a tree that blooms bright yellow flowers in August and September. In 1984, it was stated that Australia’s national colors, green and yellow, arrive from this plant, and in 1984, it was declared a national blossom.
There are no big events for Wattle Day as it appears to be more of a day with historical significance. However, there are groups that do sell Wattle Day badges and have dinners in order to lift funds for various organizations, such as the ACT Rural flame Service.
You can read more about Wattle Day on the official association’s website.
