| Spanning
80km from Cape Tribulation to where the
track joins the Cooktown Road at Black Mountain, the exciting
section with drastic gradients lies below the halfway mark of the tidal Bloomfield
River, which has to be crossed at low water.
Beyond Wujal Wujal community the road
flattens out to run past Home Rule Rainforest Lodge at ROSSVILLE,
which offers inexpensive meals, kitchen facilities and horse-riding,
before reaching The Lions Den pub at Helenvale near Black
Mountain, about thirty minutes from Cooktown.
