Bramston Beach House

Alongside the Captain Cook Highway lies the sleepy town of Mossman where tradition and culture have been vigilantly preserved by the locals. It is surrounded by the verdant green colour of the thriving rainforests and the vast sugar farming lands, which is the primary means of income of most of the people living there. The sugar cane industry has been a major part of their way of living ever since the year 1984, when the first sugar mill was established. The town has this peaceful vibe that probably springs from the hospitality and friendliness of the locals. Their slow-paced lifestyle gives off that authentic countryside feeling and visitors who are used to the hustle and bustle of the city life will definitely find this township relaxing. This is why this settlement is gradually attracting tourists even if there haven’t been any drastic advancements done within its borders. The nature attractions and the seasonal sugar mill tours are what tourists often patronize when paying this town a visit.

Among the tourist destination in the area, the Mossman Gorge is the most frequented one. It is located within the Daintree National Park, which serves as the country for the Kuku Yalanji aboriginal clan. Visitors admire the crytal-clear water of the Mossman River that seeps it way through the huge granite boulders that fell down from the mountains adjacent the river’s location. The natural placement of the rocks forms several swimming holes, which the visitors take advantage of especially in the afternoon heat. Visiting tourists are also given the option to explore the lush rainforests that encircles the river by means of the two circuit trails. These tracks allows hikers to observe the tropical vegetation of the area as well as wildlife species like the Boyd’s forest dragon, which is hardly spotted in other parts of this World Heritage listed area.

The Daintree National Park may be the highlight of any visitor’s trip to Mossman but the town itself can be considered a tourist destination. The sugar mills offer tours during the sugar cane crushing season. The visitors get the chance to ride in on the cane trains while witnessing cane fires, if they’re lucky. Sport enthusiasts can also try visiting the Mossman Golf Course for some afternoon swing. The town is also home to some of North Queensland’s old architecture. There are old, traditional Queensland houses that can be sighted but the most commendable piece of building is the hospital. Take time to visit these long standing architectural wonders. To make each visitor’s stay convenient and stress-free, the town is lined up with service establishments that are very accessible.
