Historic interludes as we visit the once vibrant gold rush town of Coen, and Musgrave, the last remaining Telegraph Station in Cape York. East towards the Coral Sea to arrive at the massive wildlife haven, Lakefield National Park

DAY 7 CAPE TRIBULATION - CAIRNS (BL)


A visit to mysterious Black Mountains before arriving at Bloomfield Falls. We join a guided cultural walk of this special place with a local Kuku Yalangi Aboriginal Guide.

Across the Daintree River and via the scenic coastal road where your tour will end with a drop off at your Cairns accommodation.
