In contrast, the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park has also endured negative impacts because of the tourism in the area. As highlighted by Dyer (2003), the negative impacts include degradation, exploitation, minimal tourist interaction, and misrepresentation of culture. Degradation refers to environmental and socio-cultural; Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park is "a camping hotspot" as it was in close promixity to Cairns, luscious rainforests, and it was in the same area with coastal dune systems, to be accessed in 4WD (Lopatich, 2009). From the tours in the rainforests and along the coast, the dune system has weathered from tourists walking on the vegetation. The rainforest is in fact, endangered, and is "very susceptible to ... fire" (ibid).
