Mossman

It’s a very popular spot for day trippers who are travelling from Cairns or the northern beaches towards the Daintree and Cape Tribulation region as it has rest stations and some really good cafes and historical pubs that people love to photograph. Whilst it’s not a tourist holiday destination it still is a place you should visit when the markets are on or to wander thru the quaint old stone church and other old buildings in the town. Mossman really is a pretty little town and the locals are all normally very friendly. The township of Mossman is the gateway to Mossman Gorge and the Kuku Yalanji Dreamtime Walk.
