Port Douglas is a town in Far North Queensland, Australia, approximately 70 km (40 mi) north of Cairns. Its permanent population was 4,772 at the time of the 2011 census.The town's population can often double, however, with the influx of tourists during the peak tourism season May--September. The town is named in honour of 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.
Port Douglas was No. 3 on Australian Traveller magazine's list of 100 Best Towns In Australia.[1]
The Port Douglas township was established in 1877 after the discovery of gold at Hodgkinson River by James Venture Mulligan. It grew quickly, and at its peak Port Douglas had a population of 12,000 and 27 hotels. With the construction of the Mulligan Highway it serviced towns as far away as Herberton.
When the Kuranda Railway from Cairns to Kuranda was completed in 1891, the importance of Port Douglas dwindled along with its population. A cyclone in 1911 which demolished all but two buildings in the town also had a significant impact. At its nadir in 1960 the town, by then little more than a fishing village, had a population of 100.
In the mid-1980s, tourism boomed in the region after investor Christopher Skase financed the construction of the world-class Sheraton Mirage.
Kitesurfing is popular at the southern end of Four Mile Beach, particularly during the winter months when trade winds blow from the South.
Port Douglas is near the Great Barrier Reef. Numerous companies run daily trips from the marina to the outer reef and the Low Isles for scuba diving and snorkelling. Port Douglas is also well known for its many restaurants, golf courses, and five star resorts.

Scared of Crocodiles in Port Douglas - THE AUSTRALIAN ROAD TRIP [EPISODE #2]
Welcome to The Australian Roadtrip!
The first destination of the trip is Port Douglas, a small town located less than 70 km north of Cairns.
(If you land in Cairns, make sure to drive the amazing coastal road that connects the 2 cities, you'll not regret).
We spent the first day enjoying the spectacular 4 Miles Beach.
The water was really warm and we were able to swim just in a restricted area because of the Jellyfishes high season and the danger of Crocodiles. Unfortunately we didn't see them but Lucie was really scared to see the typical habitat of these incredible animals.
What we saw instead was probably one of the symbols of my imagine of Australia: Long gold sand Beaches, where the rainforest meets the ocean and creates a extremely wild atmosphere.
Time was limited and we had to make some choices, but the next time we will surely visit Daintree Rainforest (in the North, one hour after Port Douglas), where it's possible to participate to Crocodiles watching tours and to see the magical Cape Tribulation.

The GREAT Barrier Reef and A MONSTER on the Golf Course [CAIRNS PT:1]
Join me on an amazing adventure to the Great Barrier Reef.
First we kick off with a look at the Kuranda village, 20 minutes north of Cairns.
Then head to Port Douglas where we take a cruiser out to the Great Barrier Reef.
Finished by a relaxed game of golf.... Or so we thought.
Cairns is in far north Queensland Australia, and its one of the most amazing places you could ever visit.
Sit back and enjoy part one of this fun holiday.
In part two we show you some more natural wonders and the AMAZING Cairns Aquarium.
Do you know what the most poisonous fish in the world is?
We found it.
As always thanks for watching and leave comment so we know you've been and can thank you personally.

Walk on the Wild Side with Blue Adventures in Port Douglas
A special thanks to Blue Adventures for taking us on a Wildlife and Rainforest Tour from Port Douglas!
You may be wondering, why did we choose Port Douglas, a small town off the beaten path in northern Queensland?
Port Douglas is the only place in the world where the rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef - there are 10 ecosystems within a 250 kilometer radius, making this a haven for Australian wildlife.
We were hoping to see some of Australia's native species (which we did) but this tour provided so much more than what we had anticipated.
- Spent some quality one on one time with Emmy-Lou the Emu
- Ate Traditional Damper with coffee and tea at Linda's
- Golf Carted around with Eastern Grey Kangaroos
- Fed and Pet Wallabies at Granite Gorge
- Enjoyed a Lake Barrie Lunch and Cruise
- Photographed Long-Fin Eels and Snapping Turtles
And our grand finale was getting a glimpse of a duck billed platypus!
This tour went over and beyond in every way. Our expectations were completely exceeded and we definitely plan on returning one day!
