Daintree / Cape Tribulation is a real tucked-away corner of Tropical North Queensland where the World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest tumbles all the way down to the Coral Sea. Cross the Daintree River, and you’ll find that Cow Bay and Cape Tribulation are tiny rainforest communities, and most of the time mobile coverage is pretty patchy;

The Torres Strait lies between Cape York Peninsula and Papua New Guinea: more than 270 islands and reefs scattered across roughly 48,000 square kilometres, with permanent communities on only 17 islands.
