Mossman Gorge Update and site map

 

A map of the Mossman Gorge area has been made public, as illustrated over, to show the areas around the Gorge that are closed at the moment and the area that is open.

 

There is still a section of Mossman Gorge open for self drivers to look at and tour operators such as Daintree Discovery Tours are still conducting afternoon tours every day with swimming in the pool closer to the car park.

 

Self drivers can park their car at the temporary carpark provided, and jump on the free shuttle to take them to the Gorge.

 

All tour guides and tour company's with permits are able to drive their vehicles up to the main carpark.  The park is only open from 7:45am till 5:15pm.

 

Daintree Discovery Tours run an afternoon Mossman Gorge & Daintree River Cruise tour and if guests are going on a tour, they will be receiving the full rainforest interpretation, and be in safe hands with a fully qualified guide.

Works are well under way with the elevated boardwalk at Mossman Gorge, Stage one is just about completed as we speak.

Stage 2, with its associated closures, commenced on Monday 27th September and should be completed by 8th October.  During stage 2 the lower river track and the picnic area will remain open.

 

Areas that will be closed to public access, as per the attached map, are the main track in, Mossman River lookout, beach area, Rex Creek suspension bridge and rainforest loop track.

 

A reminder that shuttle buses are in operation.  All cars must be parked at the temporary car park and visitors should either walk or use the free shuttle bus to and from Mossman Gorge.  The free shuttle bus service is running on a continuous loop taking approximately 15 minutes return, starting at 8.00 am. The last bus will depart from the temporary car park for Mossman Gorge at 4.30 pm with a final departure from Mossman Gorge at 5.15 pm.

 

The organisers would like to thank all visitors for their patience and understanding while the construction works are occurring.
