A Night in the Oldest Rainforest✨

And just like that another bucket list activity was ticked off the list!

I said I wouldn’t leave Australia without seeing the Daintree Rainforest first.. and we made it!!

Cape Tribulation is a beautiful area and is World Heritage listed!! We got to see so many beautiful areas and so much biodiversity 🤩

We learned about the Daintree Blockade, and how even though they didn’t succeed in stopping the road being built, they did intact cause a chain of events that led to the protection of the Rainforest 👏🫶

We spent our day in swimming holes and walking around the different bays.
It has given us a taste for the ultimate tropical north and we would very much love to bring a 4WD to drive further up the cape and see some even more beautiful and out of the way rainforest and jungle!

We were super lucky that we got to book an evening nature tour through some of the rainforest. Our guide spotted out some awesome critters for us to learn about and observe!

We got to see:
Web caster spider.
Peppermint stick insect (see video!), which is called that because when upset or scared they spray a peppermint scented liquid to deter predators!
Green ants (which Jack can confirm taste sour).
Wolf spiders.
Tent web spiders.
And I spotted a Hermit Crab in a snail shell!! (See video).

I feel so lucky to have experienced this incredibly intricate ecosystem fist hand! I can’t wait to see more of it in the future and I will do my best to fight to secure that future!! ✨🤝Read more
