Have you ever wanted to live in a tropical paradise with beautiful secluded beaches, and natural jungle? Would you also be willing to endure 4 1/2 meters (yes, 13-1/2 feet) of average annual rainfall, an occasional typhoon, and green tree frogs nesting in your toilet? Well, Cape Tribulation, population 40, may be just the place for you! In this video, an intrepid couple learn to grow exotic fruit, and achieve a level of self sufficiency and harmony with their surroundings. Produced by Overlander.tv, whose mission is to showcase not just some of the World’s top tourist destinations, but also the local inhabitants.
