Cedar Bay Track
Dense tropical rainforest grows in Cedar Bay National Park, a remote coastal park south of Cooktown in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. Sandy beaches and fringing reefs are backed by rainforest. Tulip oaks, Daintree pendas, tall rainforest cycads, fan palms and milky pines grow in the rainforest. Much has never been logged or disturbed. Windswept vegetation covers exposed hillsides.
Cedar Bay is home to a wonderful variety of wildlife including the vulnerable Southern Cassowary and rare Bennett's Tree-Kangaroo. The adjacent waters are protected in marine parks. This is the traditional land of the Kuku Yalanji people whose country extends along the coast to Mossman. The return trail to Cedar Bay leads through rough undulating country.
Along the way see large rainforest trees, tree ferns, and granite boulders. The trail emerges at the northern end of Cedar Bay beach - a remote, palm fringed tropical paradise stretching three kilometres.
