Overlander.tv - Cape Tribulation - Exotic Fruit Farm

Travel Video - Cape Tribulation (pop.40) Surrounded by National Park, Cape Trib. is a truly beautiful location. But for the locals, life can tough, no grid power, the threat of cyclones, the mad heat and the relentless rain. Only a select few make it their home. I have organised an interview with a couple, Digby and Alison Gotts, who have been living in the rainforest for the last 12 years. They use solar panels for electricity and share there house with a multitude of forest creatures such as frogs, bats and snakes. They are virtually self sufficient with a fantastic exotic tropical fruit orchid and huge vegie patch. The Gotts have lived at Cape Tribulation for the last 12 years. In that time they have lived through 3 cyclones. The Gotts run exotic fruit tasting tours on their farm.
