Cape Tribulation

The only way to get to Cape Tribulation is to cross the Daintree River by way of a cable ferry. The ferry runs continuously back and forth across the river. On the bank of the river John and the kids saw mudskippers which are only found here and in parts of Southeast Asia. They are amphibious fish that use their fins to walk on land.

We drove quickly along the route to make it up to the beach which was spectacular. The foliage was green and dense, the beach was beautiful and nearly deserted.

This huge spider drew a lot of attention. It was enormous.

Sunset from the ferry. What a glorious day full of beauty and amazing things.
