About Daintree
Daintree is a rural town and locality in the Shire of Douglas, Far North Queensland, 111 kilometres north of Cairns and 56 kilometres from Port Douglas. Situated on the Daintree River beneath the McDowell Ranges, it is the traditional country of the Kuku Yalanji people and takes its name from Richard Daintree, a pioneering 19th-century geologist, serving as a base for rainforest and river tourism in the Wet Tropics region.
