With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Cardwell, 25 miles away, has to offer. Girringun Aboriginal Art Centre should be toward the top of your list here. Cardwell Bush Telegraph and Historic Cardwell Post Office & Telegraph Station are also not to be missed. Don’t skip Atherton either! Just 55 miles away, Platypus Park, Crystal Caves and Mt. Baldy are non-negotiable stops here.
