DISCOUNTS offered to seniors visiting Daintree (Cape Tribulation and Wonga Beach). Mossman is our nearest regional centre and Port Douglas is our nearest boat harbour. Some of the participating discounters are in Mossman, Port Douglas, Craiglie or Cairns. It is appropriate that they are listed here as Daintree itself has little infrastructure.

INFORMATION CENTRES
Catching my eye in the 30 Dec
Cairns Post :-
"Cape York travellers are often given wrong
information by Cairns Information Centres."
Anyone can call themselves an information centre and they do. Information
centres are mostly owned by tour companies or tourism associations. Cairns
information centres are there to flog their member's products (for a commission)
or their own products. Us poor innocents think that, because of the "Info"
sign, it is the real McCoy and we can get accurate and un-biased information.
Ask the Cape York travellers what they think.
In 20 years of living up here I have only seen 2 independent "Information
Centres" and both went broke. There is the occasional accredited information centre run by
volunteers and they are priceless but that is the exception rather than the
rule. I only know of a few in Queensland; Tully, Townsville, Malanda, Herberton,
Babinda, Chillagoe, Mission Beach, Innisfail, Kuranda, Cooktown, Mareeba,
Ravenshoe, Croydon, Georgetown, Malanda
and Maryborough. I am starting to have second
thoughts about them as well. TWO of them will NOT display our River Tour
brochures unless we pay them!!!!
