Embarking from Cairns (we recommend spending a few days in the city first, if you have the time), wind your way north along the coastline towards Palm Cove, stretching your legs at lookouts and local beaches en route.
Between exquisite beachfront dining and golden sands to soak on, if you’re blown away by the beauty of Palm Cove and wish to stay the night (or two), here’s how you can do it in style.
從凱恩斯出發（如果有時間，我們建議您先在市內待上幾天），沿著海岸線向北蜿蜒前往棕櫚灣，沿途在瞭望台和當地海灘舒展一下雙腿。
在精緻的海濱用餐和沐浴在金色的沙灘之間，如果您被棕櫚灣的美景所震撼並希望在此過夜（或兩晚），您可以按照以下方式以時尚的方式做到這一點。
Back on the road, take the short drive into the rainforest to Mossman Gorge Cultural Centre, an Indigenous ecotourism hub on the edge of the enchanting Daintree Rainforest. Grab a bite to eat at the Mayi Café, take a look at local Indigenous artwork, and join the guided Ngadiku Dreamtime Walk tour – the absolute best way to explore this sacred land.
回程，開車一會兒即可進入雨林，抵達莫斯曼峽谷文化中心 (Mossman Gorge Cultural Centre)，這是位於迷人的丹翠雨林 (Daintree Rainforest) 邊緣的原住民生態旅遊中心。在 Mayi 咖啡館吃點東西，看看當地的土著藝術品，然後參加由導遊帶領的 Ngadiku Dreamtime Walk 之旅——這絕對是探索這片神聖土地的最佳方式。
The 2.5 hour walks are led by the Kuku Yalanji People, the Traditional Owners of the land. Wandering through the rainforest, you’ll learn about ancient culture and traditions from bush tucker to medicinal plants and ochre painting, and get insight into the connection the Indigenous People have had with this land for thousands of years.
2.5 小時的徒步旅行由這片土地的傳統所有者 Kuku Yalanji 人帶領。漫步在雨林中，您將了解從叢林美食到藥用植物和赭石繪畫的古老文化和傳統，並深入了解原住民與這片土地數千年來的聯繫。
Save time for a dip in the refreshing cool waters of Mossman Gorge before hopping back into the car. Cooktown is just another three hour drive north along the sealed Great Inland Way, though if you’re prepared for a 4WD route, steer your course through Cape Tribulation along The Bloomfield Track. It’s a wild adventure that’ll deliver some of the most spectacular sights in the Wet Tropics – best tackled over a few days to uncover all its hidden beaches, rainforest hiking trails and secret waterfalls.
Rest easy tonight in your choice of Cooktown accommodation – more adventures await tomorrow.
在回到車上之前，請留出時間在莫斯曼峽谷 (Mossman Gorge) 清涼的海水中暢遊一番。沿著封閉的大內陸路向北行駛三小時即可抵達庫克敦，但如果您準備好選擇四輪傳動車路線，可以沿著布魯姆菲爾德步道 (Bloomfield Track) 穿過苦難角 (Cape Tribulation)。這是一次狂野的冒險，將帶您領略濕熱帶地區一些最壯觀的景點 – 最好花幾天時間探索所有隱藏的海灘、雨林遠足小徑和秘密瀑布。
今晚在您選擇的庫克敦住宿中盡情放鬆——明天還有更多冒險等著您。

Day 2: Cooktown to Laura
Fuel up for another day of sights and adventures, but before you leave town be sure to stop by Cooktown Museum. Not just a place to learn about local history, the building itself is part of it – once a convent school until the 1930s and it was later occupied by the US military during World War II. This landmark has survived over the years and is now a temple for artefacts collected in the region.
為新一天的景點和冒險做好準備，但在離開城鎮之前，請務必前往庫克敦博物館。該建築不僅是了解當地歷史的地方，它本身也是其中的一部分 – 直到 1930 年代曾是一所修道院學校，後來在第二次世界大戰期間被美軍佔領。這個地標建築多年來一直保存下來，現在是一座收藏該地區文物的寺廟。
Next, head to Grassy Hill Lookout for views of the lighthouse and out to the Coral Sea – your last ocean view before you start the two-hour trek towards Laura. If you’re craving a little more wild beauty along the way, a pit-stop at mighty Trevathan Falls is a must.
It’s a good idea to stock up on any more groceries you might need before you leave town, too.
接下來，前往草山觀景台(Grassy Hill Lookout)，欣賞燈塔的景色，然後前往珊瑚海(Coral Sea)，這是您在開始前往勞拉(Laura) 的兩小時徒步旅行之前的最後一處海景。如果您想沿途欣賞更多狂野之美，那麼您必須在雄偉的特雷瓦森瀑布 (Trevathan Falls) 稍作停留。
在離開城鎮之前，最好先儲備更多您可能需要的雜貨。
Arrive in Laura and make your way to the Ang-Gnarra Festival Campground – the festival’s heartland. You’ll feel the cultural energy immediately; while eager crowds set up camp, traditional performers are practising alongside their elders who are passing on their song and dance knowledge. It’s the ultimate behind the scenes preview of what’s to come over the next three days.
So pick your camp spot and unpack in time to relax and enjoy the open night sky. With campfires alight and stretched across the grounds, camping under the stars feels like an act of community.
If you’re not a fan of camping, you can stay in town at the Laura Motel or the Laura Roadhouse.
抵達勞拉 (Laura)，前往安格納拉節日營地 (Ang-Gnarra Festival Campground) – 節日的中心地帶。你會立即感受到文化能量；當熱切的人群紮營時，傳統表演者正在與他們的長輩一起練習，他們正在傳授他們的歌舞知識。這是未來三天即將發生的事情的終極幕後預覽。
因此，請選擇您的露營地點並及時打開行李，放鬆身心並享受開闊的夜空。篝火點燃並遍布整個場地，在星空下露營感覺就像是一種社區行為。
如果您不喜歡露營，您可以住在鎮上的勞拉汽車旅館 (Laura Motel) 或勞拉路屋 (Laura Roadhouse)。
