Discovering all there is to know about this region on the web will keep bringing up three main things, and not really anything else, they are the Aboriginal peoples and culture, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. Actually this area has many other things to do besides these three main attractions. Bundara Gallery - Conveniently located in the heart of Port Douglas you will find this incredibly gallery. It offers a mix of Aboriginal, historical and modern art from around the world with a focus on local artists of Aboriginal descent both past and present. The quality of the works found in this gallery is spectacular and each provides a look at the history of the region with authentication. 
Cape Tribulation Exotic Fruit Farm - This experience will allow you a unique look at fruit farming in the region. Come and learn more about these incredible fruits as you listen to stories about them and learn how to eat and prepare these fruits properly. You will enjoy some tasting as well as a walk through the incredible organic orchard.
Mount Surprise Fossicking Tours - This unique tour experience allows you to come and dig up your own gems such as Quartz, Topaz and Aquamarine. Novices and children are welcome as you can come an learn how these unique stones are acquired from the Earth. Some walking across uneven ground is part of the tour and you will be given the opportunity to have your gem made into a sparkling stone that shines and can be appraised by an expert. An on-sight caf is also available.
It's possible to find these along with other attractions by looking at the local newspaper or online. A lot of the hotels have pamphlets about other attractions and you can look through those to find what is interesting to you. Visiting the rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef is recommended but there are many other experiences to be had in Australia's Tropical North Queensland.
