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.

My dream is to have a self-sufficient farm/ranch and grow as many different fruits and veggies as possible, a garden of eden if you will.

My dream also, to have an "exotic" fruit farm, I have been experimenting with sprouting seeds for now, no land to plant them in :( yet. so I just give them away to friends and family toplant in their yards. Im in the tropics, so I can grow all those fruits shown. Hope you and your hubby get your wish.

That purple fruit with the white inside is called Star Apple. It's very very sweet, with creamy texture.

That's great. Where is Cape Tribulation? It would be great if you could make a video about the fruits you grow as well.
