The Cape Tribulation Trip. This is Dissa crossing one of six fords on the track. It's about standard for the depth of water. Norte the campers on the creek bank to the left of photo. The track is only about 34 kilometres from Wujal Wujal (On the Bloomfield river) to cape tribulation. This is the only "remote section" of the journey from Cooktown via the coast. Very steep climbs and descents but 2 wheel drives will pass easily enough in Dry conditions. This trip is about rainforests and clear streams. If you enjoy these aspects of travel we would thoroughly recommend this trip.
We spent three days on this trip. First nights camp near Thornton's Beach. Second night back at Bloomfield after spending half the day doing the sights around Cape Trib....





The Bloomfield Falls at Wujal Wujal were spectacular. A late finish to the wet season ensures a good volume of water. The pool below this is where I wanted to wet a line. There were schools of Jungle Perch, some over the kilo and a half, teasing me.


















Everybody has heard of the Black Mountains on the approach to Cooktown. Here is a composite shot of the easterly one. This mountain is onloy a few kilometres from the Little Annan river bridge. Below the bridge is a spectacular Gorge. While it is not a huge gorge it is well worth the 400 metre walk to see some of it.
