The northeast corner of the continent is nothing short of heaven for outdoor adventurers. The Great Barrier Reef snakes close to shore, luring divers with its stunning views and sublime immensity. Vast tropical rainforests press up against the Coral Sea by the green-covered mountains of the Great Dividing Range. The variety of wildlife means that the Far North’s greatest attraction is its natural beauty. While Cairns caters to travelers seeking urban comforts, the more remote parts of this land are untamed. The Captain Cook Hwy. leads modern-day trailblazers north into the rainforest, which becomes increasingly dense around Cape Tribulation. Wilder yet is the Cape York peninsula, which starts beyond Cooktown and stretches to the Torres Strait. Travelers daring enough to make the journey should anticipate very basic unsealed roads.
