Captain Cook Highway is a short Queensland highway that starts in Cairns and ends in Mossman, where it joins Mossman-Daintree Road, which continues to Daintree.
Captain Cook Highway is used by many tourists to travel to Port Douglas north of Cairns. Apart from being a vital link between two tourist locations, Captain Cook Highway is a scenic highway that winds alongside the coast of the tropical seaside rainforest heading towards Port Douglas and Daintree National Park.
The highway commences at the northern end of the A1 Bruce Highway, in Cairns. It runs north through Cairns to the suburb of Smithfield as National Route 1, crossing the south and north arms of the Barron River. From there it continues as State Route 44 through the beachside suburbs of Kewarra Beach and Palm Cove, and then follows the coast almost to Port Douglas. It then proceeds north-west to Mossman where it terminates.
