Cape Tribulation is a remote headland and ecotourism destination in northeast Queensland, Australia. It was named by British navigator Lieutenant James Cook on 10 June 1770 (log date) after his ship scraped a reef north east of the cape, whilst passing over it. The ship stuck fast and was badly damaged, desperate measures being needed to prevent it foundering until it was refloated the next day. Cook recorded "...the north point [was named] Cape Tribulation because "here began all our troubles". Myall beach, Dubuji boardwalk, Emmagen Creek, Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef Drive are some of the famous attractions in the city.
