Some examples of when this will suit you are adjournments, simple pleas or when your case is listed for directions from the court (not a final hearing). And if you are not on bail, you may not even need to attend.
Cooktown Magistrates Court
The Cooktown Magistrates Court is at 172 Charlotte St, Cooktown and has the operating hours of 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday. The Courthouse is located on the waterfront, beside the police station and near the intersection of Charlotte and Hill Streets.
Cooktown is around 330 kilometres or 4 hours drive north of Cairns along the Mulligan Highway. It is set on Cape York Peninsula amongst World Heritage-listed rainforest, at the mouth of the Endeavour River, the perfect place for a crocodile encounter.
The town is steeped in history, having provided safe-haven to its namesake, Captain James Cook when his ship, the Endeavour, sustained damage after striking a reef. Home to around 2000 people, it is a popular tourist destination, not only because of its many historical landmarks, but also because of the recreational and adventure activities on offer.
