Daintree
What is the Daintree?
The Daintree is the largest tropical rainforest in Australia and it is the oldest rainforest on the planet (estimated to be 40 million years older than the amazon!) It is found north of Port Douglas at Cape Tribulation. It is made up of a vast array of tropical flora and exquisite wild life. It is the only place on Earth that meets with a second world heritage site, The Great Barrier Reef.

WORDS OF CAUTION FOR THIS REGION
Although we are certain you will have an unforgettable experience exploring this region, we do caution you to be “FNQ-WISE.” With all this beauty comes a few things you’ll need to be mindful of but if you prepare, you won’t get caught in any trouble.
– Crocodiles, sharks and harmful stingers do roam our waters but that doesn’t mean you can’t swim up here. Just make sure you check out any signage around the water ways you enter and check for up dates on stinger seasons. Our advice is stick to the fresh water where it’s running and clear.
– If you come from the cities one thing you may take for granted is fuel stations on every corner. Up here they can be far and few between so make sure when you’re travelling in this region to be aware of where your next fuel station is to ensure you do not end up on the side of the road.
– Similar to fuel stations is your local convenience store. These stores again can be far and few between plus they close EARLY, so if you’re travelling late to your campground and didn’t pack dinner you might be left quite hungry by morning.
-This one tends to be a no-brainer but funnily enough is still often overlooked. Be prepared to have little to no phone reception. Even though you might think you’re ok not having your phone, be prepared for any emergency event. Accidents happen in our water ways, on hiking trails and in our campgrounds so be prepared for what you’re going to do if you can’t use your phone to get help.
