Travel Australia | WE FIND PARADISE in the Daintree Rainforest - Cape Tribulation Part 1. Ep 22

To quote David Attenborough, The Daintree Rainforest is the “MOST EXTRAORDINARY PLACE ON EARTH” and we couldn’t agree more!

In the next 2 videos our trip in a van continues north as we explore the very best (in our opinion…) of Cape Tribulation and The Daintree Rainforest.

The Daintree Rainforest in Tropical North Queensland has some of the best swimming holes, hiking, 4wding and beaches in the world.

Join us in Part 1 (and subsequent Parts) as we acquaint ourselves with this land. We setup the caravan in amongst the rainforest then get straight out in the Ranger to explore.

Following a tip from a friend, our first stop is finding the not-so-known BLUE HOLE, a swimming hole in literal paradise - surrounded by dense forest and beautiful palms, and yes it lived up to its name ;)

Second stop is Cow Bay Beach, the first beach you’ll come to after you cross the Daintree River.

And finally we finish the day at the Daintree Icecream Company, eating our way through tropical fruits - in ice cream form, that’s our kind of way to eat fruit!

When travelling Australia, if you know where to look (or if you watch our videos ;)), you’ll discover gems like this.

As part of our big lap of australia, we’re getting to the end of our Queensland roadtrip and we can’t wait to show you more of this sunburnt country and it’s coral reefs, 4wd beaches, fishing spots, mountains, waterfall gorges and rainforests as we head up and over the tip of Australia. Stay tuned!

We’d like something to show the grandkids, so we’ve set ourselves the task of making videos of our Australian travel adventures. If you want to follow along and see if we love (or hate) not having a routine or more than 6 metres of living space as we caravan Australia… or if you’re just looking for holiday inspiration, then SUBSCRIBE!
