The Cape Tribulation Tropical Research Station is an independent research facility operated by the Australian Tropical Research Foundation (AUSTROP) based in Far North Queensland, Australia. We offer use of the facilities to researchers and students and accept volunteers and interns to work at the Station and on its ongoing projects.

We use a flexible and progressive approach to a wide variety of scientific research projects and conservation activities. The station's unique location, within the Daintree World Heritage lowland rainforest and less than a kilometer from the coast and the Great Barrier Reef, offers vast potential for research on biological, biodiversity and biogeographical issues.

We also run an environmental information and interpretation facility, The Bat House, to provide information to visitors to the area, and an income stream to the Station.
The Station also has a small captive Flying Fox colony of unreleasable animals, many of which do duty at the Bat House, as Rainforest Ambattadors. Click on the links in the menu to find out more.
