The Daintree Rainforest, Queensland - Saturday 25th June 2011





















On our way from Cairns to Cooktown we crossed the Daintree River by ferry and entered into "Cassowary" country where large birds move freely in the forest area.  We did not sight any live birds, but they can very dangerous if confronted - so we settled on viewing a model of the bird at the river crossing.

The Daintree Rainforest was a fascinating place full of all kinds of interesting plants, insects and animals.  It was a beautiful place to view and I needed to cross that off my bucket list.  Our Guide Dean explained all of natures wonders in the rainforest and were able to have an enjoyable walk in nice weather.

We walked the wooden forest walk underneath all the canopies of the trees.  It is a "must do" when in this area.
