Daintree - a city in Northern Queensland in 111 km to the north from Cairns and 56 kilometres from Port Douglas. The river Daintree nearby proceeds. It is named in honour of Richard Daintree, the geologist investigating Northern Queensland in 1860th years. At first in area there lived only woodcutters who prepared a cedar many growing in him. Wood transportation carried out on the river. There were dairy farms later and the factory which is letting out oil has opened. The animal industries also have developed. Now the city represents, first of all, a resort. In a city the virgin rainforest has remained.
