Hotels in Douglas Shire, Australia
Douglas Shire sits along Queensland's coast, famous for the Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef access, with a tropical climate that brings wet, humid summers from December to February and dry, sunny winters from June to August. During the dry winter, you can snorkel at the reef or hike the Mossman Gorge trails without the downpours, while the wet summer (around 85°F/29°C) is the best time to see Daintree's waterfalls like Manjal Jimalji (Emerald Creek) in full flow. For a change of pace, head to Cape Tribulation-here the rainforest meets the reef, and you can kayak the crystal-clear waters or take a night walk to spot the endangered Southern Cassowary.
