Port Douglas Travel Guide - An Australian Paradise
Port Douglas is a coastal town and locality in the Shire of Douglas, Queensland, Australia, approximately 70 km (40 mi) north of Cairns. The town's population can often double, however, with the influx of tourists during the peak tourism season from May to September. The town is named in honour of a former Premier of Queensland, John Douglas. Port Douglas developed quickly based on the mining industry. Other parts of the area were established with timber cutting occurring in the area surrounding the Daintree River and with settlement starting to occur on lots around the Mossman River by 1880.
Previous names for the town included Terrigal, Island Point, Port Owen and Salisbury. The town is situated adjacent to two World Heritage areas, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. The Port Douglas township was established in 1877 after the discovery of gold at Hodgkinson River by James Venture Mulligan.
Port Douglas is ideal for a trip to the Great Barrier Reef or to the Daintree Rainforest, with Cape Tribulation a 90 minute drive on well maintained sealed roads. Port Douglas maintains a village feel, as it is a town where the Palm Trees are taller than the buildings and you can meander through the town to do some shopping, or enjoy a wide variety of cafes, pubs, restaurants & bars, ranging from those offering excellent value to world class cuisine. It is a very popular tourist, beach and reef destination, with the peak season being during the Australian winter.
There are 2 bus systems that will take you into town for $5 dollars round trip. The return ticket is only good with the bus company you went in to town with. On Sundays there is a small sightseeing train that runs into and out of town. Tours to the reef or rain forest pick you up at your hotel. Buses go past 4 times per hour from 7AM til around midnight. The main downtown area (along Macrossan St) is easily walkable if you choose a hotel/hostel in that area.
There are plenty of restaurants on Macrossan street. 2Fish, Zeus, The Living Room and Salsa restaurants on Wharf street (among others are also very lively in the evening. On the Inlet restaurant offers great sea food, including many barramundi recipes.

Mowbray River, Port Douglas
We had the privilege of seeing large crocodiles in the wild, basking on the foreshore of mangrove lined estuary a timely warning of the dangers of wandering off the beaten track and taking note of all the warning signs about not getting close to the water's edge and that included the beach. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they are not there!

Mowbray waterfall walk bump track audio
This video of our walk from the bottom of the bump track to Mowbray falls.
The first section of the walk is a rather steep and took us about 2hrs to 2hrs 30min to do walk to the falls. return expect at least 4 hrs walking quickly
Note other walkers had missed the turn off to the falls since there where no signs or marks at the turnoff.
the turn off from the bump track is about halfway between the black mountain road and robbins creek. its on the right facing the black mountain road.
It would be a much easier walk from the black mountain road but amuch longer drive.
The track down to the falls on the last bit is quite steep, to very steep and on the track there is also abit of waitawhile !! so beware, i got snagged and i rarely do !!
The falls are steep and a very good level of climbing and dry weather are rewired to even consider deceding down the falls at all !! enjoy
