The National Park lies on both sides of the Daintree River, and is the oldest rainforest on the planet.
The Discovery Centre was a great place to start, but this meant a ferry crossing across the croc infested Daintree River.
The Discovery Centre included a 750m long board walk through the lower, middle and canopy sections of the rainforest, a walk through the cassowary habitat and also the Jurassic forest.

23m high canopy tower, the view was awesome
The models moved and roared
Great interpretive centre where we could see this beauty of a python up close
The road through Cape Tribulation is sealed but only after a very controversial decision in 1983 resulting in the Daintree Blockade.
We were grateful the road is sealed as far as Cape Tribulation, and still doesn’t look too imposing.
The view from Alexander lookout to Cape Trib and the mouth of the Daintree River, see the weather stayed good for us
Back across the ferry then further up the river for a quick visit to Daintree Village where many of the croc river cruises start
The bird of the week is the Pied Imperial Pidgeon, which is still visiting our region in abundance before returning to southern New Guinea. We see them every day.
