Cape Tribulation travel video guide Queensland Australia
Once you cross the Daintree River, you enter into a region that is home to the oldest rainforest on the planet.
Cape Tribulation is a small village nestled in the heart of this rainforest and is where the frontier of Queenslands' north really begins.
As you pass through the lowland and tropical rainforest make sure to take some time and explore these areas as they have excellent coastal lookouts. This area is literally where the great barrier reef meets the rainforest.
You can drive yourself or take a tour up the Bloomfield Track. This is the major coastal highway north, Most times will will need a Four Wheel Drive (4WD) vehicle to drive alongside the coast.

Cape York 4WD travel video guide Far North Queensland Australia
We decided to take on the ultimate Australian 4WD adventure and head up Queenslands Cape York Peninsula to Australias most northern point.
There are a number of ways you can tackle this drive experience. You can take on the OTT or OTL (Old Telegraph line track) where you will experience the great remote wilderness of Australia. This track starts at Bramwell junction and finishes at the Jardine River. There are two bypass roads that allow travellers to get from the Peninsula Development Road to The Tip without having to navigate all of the creek crossings and rough roads. They pass mainly through the highlands to the east and west of the route, and are heavily corrugated which makes for a rough drive.
If you decide to take on the challenge of the OTT there are a number of creek crossings along the way, some more challenging than others. Along the way the track reconnects with the Bypass road so you can bypass some of the more challenging crossings if need be.
Palm creek, Gunshot, cockatoo creek are some of the more challenging crossings we take on, however there is some pretty spectacular places you will come across on the track like the beautiful elliot falls, twin falls and fruit bat falls all of which provide a great place to cool of or camp for the night.
