There's some good advice below to help you while you're driving around Tropical North Queensland. I
t's highly likely you're going to want to rent a car while you're in this region as that will give you the freedom to wheel about howevery you'd like to on your holiday.
The most important thing is to have a valid drivers license, and keep that on your person the whole time you're visiting. Next, don't pick late afternoon to start a trip in the Tropical Rainforest region if you're not familiar with the area. When you're doing sightseeing start early so that you have daylight and plan on being home by dark.
You should always have your safety belt on, it's required here for everyone in the automobile. Drive on your left side of the road as they do in Europe. Roads here can become very narrow so slow your speed down significantly to be safe.
Be sure to have supplies with you in your rental car, including water, a flashlight and a first aid kit. This way if you do get stuck or stranded you will be able to sustain until help arrives. Don't leave your vehicle. If you get stuck, do not walk off but stay with your vehicle until help arrives. If you wander into a wooded area you could wind up getting lost, plus you are more likely to get help if you are on the road.
The natives of TNQ are always willing to lend a helping hand if you need directions or help in any way. As you travel to your destination jot down directions in reverse to help you find your way out again as this is where most people get turned around. And if you feel like you're not going to be comfortable navigating your way around there are many guided tours to go on to discover this land.
