Daintree and Cape Tribulation contain one of Australia's most remarkable tropical landscapes, where ancient rainforest-covered mountains descend directly to coral-fringed beaches and the Coral Sea. Dense lowland rainforest, mangroves, rivers and largely undeveloped coastline create the rare photographic combination of tropical forest meeting reef.

The Daintree rainforest occupies the humid coastal ranges of far north Queensland, with exceptionally diverse tropical vegetation extending from mountain slopes across river valleys to the shoreline. Around Cape Tribulation, rainforest reaches directly behind beaches and rocky headlands, while the Daintree River supports mangroves, wetlands and dense riparian forest beneath the surrounding mountains. Photographically, the area works through the relationship between rainforest, water and coast. Beaches provide broad compositions of forested mountains meeting tropical sea, while boardwalks and forest trails reveal enormous trees, palms, vines and intricate rainforest detail. Rivers and mangroves add reflections and wildlife opportunities, with mist, tropical rain and low cloud often creating particularly atmospheric conditions across the forested ranges.
