Comments: From: Daintree State School Anniversary "Daintree was still an isolated world within a world, the only access being by water or on horse back. The journey to Mossman by horse took about 6 to 8 hours as Barratt Creek, influenced by tides, could only be negotiated safely at low tide until a bridge was built in 1929. However, Daintree was ably serviced by sailing boat to Port Douglas and Cairns. Later the Osborne Brothers supplied a very efficient transport service by motor launch."

Comments: In the early 1980s, pressure was growing for the missing road link between Cape Tribulation and Bloomfield to be completed. This was supported by Douglas Shire Council and the State Government . In November 1983, a small group of residents organised a protest to stop work on a road being built from Cape Tribulation to Bloomfield on the basis it would bring unwanted development to an area of high environmental significance. In December 1983, Douglas Shire Council bulldozers arrived to construct the road. Protestors tried to prevent the work from commencing and set up a camp at Cape Tribulation. Police were called to remove protestors - the Daintree Blockade begins. The road was opened on 7/10/1984

Comments: Opening of Barrett's Creek Bridge. Prior to the opening of the Daintree to Mossman road transport to Daintree was by boat from Port Douglas or by foot or horseback (6 to 8 hours) from Mossman. Townsville Bulletin 5/7/1929: Barrett's Creek Bridge Is now completed, but not yet open for traffic The opening I trust will be an outstanding event for Dalntree, somewhere In the near future. Some of the employees engaged on the bridge were farewelled on Saturday last at a dance held at the factory, when amost enjoyable evening was spent in dancing and other amusements. As the tennis court is now completed, I am informed the opening ceremony will take place on Sunday, July 21st, preceded by a dance on the Saturday night. I understand -that Port Douglas, Mossman and SaltwaterTennis Clubs are being invited, and any who care to come. The full moon will be on the 22nd. good big tides should enable launch parties to arrive without any trouble, and It is hoped that a good crowd will attend to try their luck on the Daintree court.'
