The Daintree is region of rain forested mountains, freshwater streams and ocean beaches north of Port Douglas in tropical North Queensland. The Daintree rain forest is on the World Heritage List and shelters an extraordinary number of frogs, marsupials, reptiles, bats, butterflies and birds. We didn’t find much evidence of them on a cool and cloudy winter’s day except for our trip to spot crocodiles.
Out trip started in a nondescript shack, one of several selling boat cruises, in the middle of a cane field on the banks of the Daintree River. The owner or at least the guy selling the tickets was barefoot and wearing baggy shorts and open front short-sleeve shirt. He served us local tea until his guide turned up. This guy thought he was God’s gift to women. Once getting over the human wildlife we concentrated on the natural stuff and I must admit the guide was informative in a kind of “poor joke” sort of way. We saw crocodiles of course, snakes, frogs and birds including an azure kingfisher. The tour was worth the $10 each we paid. We also walked in the rain forest and along the beach.
