Description: In Queensland, Australia, this is the only research facility in the coastal lowland seasonally-wet tropical rainforests of Australia. The dominant forest type is complex mesophyll vine forest. Opportunities exist for research, volunteers and study.
The Australian Tropical Research Foundation (AUSTROP Foundation) is an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1992, which operates the Cape Tribulation Tropical Research Station (CTTRS) at Cape Tribulation. Cape Tribulation is about 120km north of Cairns. It is in the Daintree tropical lowlands, considered to be the “jewel†of the Australian Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. This is a very special area of rainforest sandwiched between the coastal fringing reef (and the Great Barrier Reef) and the coastal mountain range. The area has a wide variety of habitats from coastal reefs to tropical rainforest. The Research Station is a research and conservation organisation that specialises in lowland tropical ecosystems, in particular those of the Daintree tropical lowlands.
