The Coast Road Cairns to Cooktown via Bloomfield river

The Coast Road runs from Cairns to Cooktown through the pristine Daintree rainforest. As drives go the Coast Road is off the scale. You can look forward to river crossings and picturesque waterways, magnificent beaches & rugged mountains. You can also look forward to getting stuck if you don't have a 4WD (or you aren't a passenger in someone else’s). The bituman ends at Cape Trib.

Bloomfield Track, north from Cape Tribulation

The Bloomfield Track is 28ks of mostly 4WD dirt track through the Daintree Rainforest just north of Cape Tribulation. The track traverses several creeks and river crossings and including some steep climbs and descents. These steep parts have all been concreted over the past few years and are not the challenge they once where in the Wet.

The Bloomfield Track was built to connect Bloomfield to Cape Tribulation in the early eighties and was the scene of a major confrontation with conservationists who opposed the road.
It is now a popular drive for tourists wanting to see a bit of spectacular costal country in their 4WD as well as in everyday use by the locals from Wugal Wugal and the Bloomfield district.
