Dain Forest
Queenland of Australia
"An untouched wildlife heaven in the heart of Australia."
The Daintree Rainforest is estimated to be 180 million years old which is tens of millions of years older than the Amazon Rainforest. The Daintree Rainforest is a breathtaking natural marvel estimated to be around 135 million years old, the oldest living rainforest on earth, surpassing even the Amazon when it comes to seniority. It is also the only place in the world where two World Heritage-listed sites meet, the rainforest and the reef. When you visit this area, the land of the Yalanji people, you will be inspired by the diversity of the flora and fauna and marvel at the distinct landscapes that have been in existence since Australia was still part of Gondwana.
Daintree Rainforest is unspoiled by the artificial structures and strategies that are typical of public tourism experiences. This triumph of natural wonder and awe-inspiring beauty reveals hidden riches and inspirational insights. High quality guided interpreted walking tours, showcase unique biological diversity and exceptional rainforest integrity. There is no better way to successfully engage with such elusive complexity and intricacy than through the guiding expertise of long-term human inhabitants.The Daintree Rainforest is estimated to be 180 million years old which is tens of millions of years older than the Amazon Rainforest. This vitally important step, which all but around half-a-percent of visitors fail to take, draws from the rainforest its human voice and the intellectual property of generations of attentive inhabitant.
Climatic conditions:
Daintree climate is tropical all year with maximum temp of 32 C in the summer and 25 C in the winter. Most of all pack lightly - at 16 degrees south of the Equator, the weather in the Daintree is like Tahiti..
During the cooler, dry season the days are balmy and the evenings pleasantly cool (26 - 17 degrees Celsius). Summertime, or the green season, means warmer days and restorative rain. The rainforest revitalises itself and the streams are replenished.
Into the dense mystical missy :
"Whichever way you to choose to explore, the Daintree Rainforest is a magical, majestic and very special part of the world."
Located in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest, the Daintree Discovery Centre is an easy 2 hour drive north of Cairns along one of the most beautiful coastal roads in the world.The scenery is unparalleled – sparkling azure blue waters contrast dramatically with the lush green of the tropical rainforest. Fringing reefs hug the coast providing an introduction to the wonders of the world famous Great Barrier Reef.
The Daintree Rainforest is located in the northeast corner of Australia along the coast of Queensland. The Daintree Rainforest is split into two sections divided by an agricultural piece of land. Together, the two sections cover around 1200 square kilometers of the tropical wilderness. Parts of the rainforest are protected by the Daintree National Park, which became a World Heritage Site in 1988. Some of the remaining sections of the rainforest are owned privately while other areas are State Forest.
Crossing the Daintree River (home to Australia’s infamous Salt Water Crocodile) via a vehicular ferry is an experience not to be missed. Travel a further 10kms to the Discovery Centre at Cow Bay.
Daintree Attractions:
In one of the worlds oldest rainforests are thousands of plant and animal species untouched by civilization. Experience the natural wonder of this region by self exploration or by guided tour.
Horse riding :
Cape Tribulation is the only place in Australia where the rainforest meets the beach and is one of the most beautiful places to ride a horse in the world.
Daintree Rainforest Environmental Centre :
Daintree Rainforest Environmental Centre is an excellent introduction to the rainforest with a 23 metre high canopy tower - which provides an awesome view over the rainforest. Built in 1989 the Daintree Discovery Centre also features twin theatres, touch screen displays, several boardwalk trails and audio commentary on everything you see.
FloraVilla Art Gallery:
See the superb arts and crafts produced by the rainforest dwelling locals
Dubuji Boardwalk:
The walk is signposted on the main road at Cape Tribulation. The Dubuji Boardwalk is a 1.8 km interpretive boardwalk through the forest and mangroves.
Skyrail & the Kuranda Scenic Railway:
Not quite in the Daintree but just south between the rainforest and Cairns, Skyrail is one of the top tourist attractions in Australia. Sail over the rainforest canopy via cable car to the top of the mountain range at Kuranda. Grab a bite to eat and see an aboriginal show then ride back down the mountain on the Kuranda Scenic Railway which would have to be one of the prettiest train rides in the world.
Exotic tropical fruit:
There are several exotic fruit orchards at Cape Tribulation where you can purchase or taste the most amazing fruit, and local restaurants and cafes produce such delights that you would be lucky to taste elsewhere.
Walks & Treks:
For the adventurer in you, there are many hiking trails, like the 1.1 km Marrdja Boardwalk, which are exotic and challenging at the same time.
It is not just a vast expanse of trees and the wildlife. But the Daintree houses thick rainforests to national parks, to beaches. It also houses a river and has grown till the edge of the ocean. Summarily, it is the perfect escape for the nature lovers, and is a haven for the ones that want to lose themselves into nature, and do not mind getting their hands dirty a little. If this sounds like you then you should plan your trip to Australia now!
We are not asking you to get lost only in the beauty of Daintree National Park. As a matter of fact, you must have a Daintree rainforest map on your person at all times and visit the nearby areas as well. Not directly in relation with the Daintree rainforest, but pretty close in Queensland, this farm is the best place to know some of the most unique exotic fruits in Australia.
" The Daintree is an area of mountains and gorges, fast flowing rivers and wide tracts of undisturbed rainforest. Where the Rainforest meets the Coral Sea, it is one of the few places on the planet where rainforest ecosystems change so abruptly to a marine environment such as the Great Barrier Reef."
