TOP OF CHAPTER
Cape Tribulation
This little piece of paradise retains a frontier quality, with low-key development, road
signs alerting drivers to cassowary crossings and crocodile warnings.
The rainforest tumbles right down to two magnificent, white-sand beaches - Myall and
Cape Trib - separated by a knobby cape. The village of Cape Tribulation marks the end of
the road and the beginning of the 4WD-only coastal route along the Bloomfield Track.
