Cooper Creek Wilderness Tours, Daintree Cape Tribulation

Cooper Creek Wilderness is situated directly below Thornton Peak, the epicentre of refugial significance in the ancient Daintree Rainforest, midway between the Daintree River and Cape Tribulation.

 

Cooper Creek Wilderness, with its wealth of ancient and primitive plants and animals is hidden from mass tourism, but welcoming to genuine travellers who want to experience the continuity of rainforest existence over an estimated 135million years.   Knowledgeable local experts can show you the famous “green dinosaur” and describe its discovery in the area only 17 years prior to World Heritage listing of the Wet Tropics of Australia in 1988.

 

It takes determination and discernment to gain entry to the primitive sections of the Daintree that are off the beaten track. The chances of finding extraordinary fauna and flora are increased by participating on both day and night tours.

 

Cooper Creek Wilderness is a living museum containing every stage in the evolution of plants and animals. It is more than an exciting and interesting place to visit. It contains the forebears of the more modern Australian forests and through its complex interrelationships it provides inspiration and knowledge for understanding of the environment for all mankind.

 

Cooper Creek Wilderness invites you to join us on a journey of discovery through the world’s oldest rainforest. You will marvel at the camouflage and other strategies for avoiding detection and you will be rewarded by the knowledge that your payments are helping to conserve rare and pristine lowland rainforest.
