Things to See in Cape Tribulation

The Mount Sorrow ridge trail provides opportunities for fit and experienced bushwalkers to take in spectacular views from an elevation of 680m. The trail starts in a lowland rainforest valley, full of trees with large buttress roots and a canopy woven with large woody vines. As the ridge ascends, feather-leafed palms become more common.

With spectacular views of Mt Sorrow in the background, areas of fringing reef on Myall Beach are exposed at low tide, allowing swimmers to explore the rock pools. The mangrove boardwalk on the way to the beach has a seat where you can sit and listen to the crabs popping - cute! At the southern most end, you can explore the Myall Creek mouth.

Volunteers from Austrop - a local conservation organisation - run the Bat House nursery for fruit bats. Besides giving visitors the opportunity to meet a flying fox, the Bat House provides environmental and tourist information on the region. During the evenings, the house serves as a meeting place and as a small lecture theatre.
