What a great place, Cape Trib! We arrived here last Friday (13 August) from Cairns staying at the Cape Trib Camping Grounds. Our van site was all of 100 metres from the beach. The weather was wonderful for the four days we were here. We kayaked, snorkelled, swam a mountain pool and even had a barbeque breakfast on the beach - ahhh, living in paradise is just wonderful! Di, Graeme and Carol even managed to kayak around Cape Tribulation itself - what a wonderful experience even though it took Di out of her comfort zone.

The Cape gets its name from James Cook's 1770 voyage in the "Endeavour" as it was out from here that the voyage's "tribulations started". The "Endeavour" hit the reef to the north east of here, the hull was holed and nearly the ship nearly sunk.
I like the mandatory hat for kayaking GG! And in the open ocean just where was the life vest? Who's the attractive young lady posing with you at the Lions Den?
ReplyDeleteI can see that we're going to have to follow your steps when I get sick (well sicker) of work!
Keep up the good work!
