Far North Escapes
Welcome to the remote, unspoilt beauty of Cape York Peninsula. Captain Cook's arrival on the banks of the Endeavour River in 1770 led to his first recorded meaningful contact with Aboriginal people.
Welcome to Cooktown, the Far North Queensland town whose history and heritage draws 25,000 visitors each year... and its not just the story of Captain James Cook that you'll fine here, but a rich indigenous culture and tales of the booming pioneer gold-rush glory days. For a town that sits on the Cape York Peninsula, what surprises most guests, is just how much there is to see in this unique town.
Discover this unique history and Cooktown's colourful past on a stroll around town, then head further north up the Peninsula to experience the raw beauty of one of Australia's last true frontiers.
It’s not just the story of Captain James Cook that you’ll find here, but a rich Indigenous history and plenty of evidence that Cooktown was booming in its gold-rush glory days.
