Daintree National Park (Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land) (CYPAL) is comprised of two sections—Mossman Gorge and Cape Tribulation. The crystal-clear waters of the Mossman River cascade over granite boulders in Mossman Gorge while Cape Tribulation features rainforest-clad mountains that sweep down to long sandy beaches.
Location
Between 80km and 150km north of Cairns
