The AreaCape Tribulation was named by Captain Cook in 1770 as this was the area his vessel, the Endeavour, ran aground on the Great Barrier Reef. He named the reef “Endeavour Reef” after his ship. Other places he named also reflected his despair at the time and include Mt Sorrow and Weary Bay.
Not much happened for the next 200 years until people discovered that Cape Tribulation is a unique place where the pristine Daintree rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef.
The Daintree Rainforest, which includes Cape Tribulation National Park, is the oldest living rainforest estimated to be over 100 million years old and was World Heritage listed in 1988. It is the second largest tract of virgin rainforest in the world, beaten only by the Amazon.
The Great Barrier Reef was World Heritage listed in 1981 and is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, stretching some 2,000 km along the Queensland Coast and is on the only living thing visible from outer space.
These two World Heritage icons, separated by wide sandy beaches have become a great place for young people to visit, experience and to have a fun time.
