One of the reasons to come to the north east coast was to take in a trip to the world heritage site of Daintree rainforest🤗 and this trip didn’t disappoint
We first visited the wildlife park with obligatory koala pictures.
A wander through the rest of the park showed the diversity of this country’s fawna and flora. Highlight for me was to see a cassowary!
Back on the tour us and we drove up to cape tribulation, named so by captain cook on his travels to this part of Australia. Lisa, our guide, was informative, friendly also having lived in the rainforest herself.
We took the ferry across the river and Lisa, having tribulations herself with a door issue, remained calm and resilient. We made our way to the lunch venue, where Kevin and I enjoyed a kangaroo burger!
It was very damp and not clement at all, but all part of the experience.
Next up was a boardwalk, not as high up as I’d hoped (😉) and the heavens opened!
We swapped buses at this point and we stopped at a lookout and an ice cream shop!
Next up was a river cruise to look for crocs, but there were no shoes in sight! So much rain had fallen the night before, river levels were high!
A good journey back to paradise, and we packed for tomorrow. Dinner was a simple affair of 🍕, a walk home and a goodbye to Colin as he embarks on his outback adventure!
We are all up early (I’m waiting for the 4:30 am alarm call, as I write!) for a flight to Hamilton Island.
