Day 17 The Daintree Rain Forest and Cape Tribulation


Our entire day was devoted to exploring the Daintree tropical rain forest. We were fortunate to have Nicholas Fox as our guide to the Daintree. We started out with a walkabout in the forest over a 2K boardwalk. Due to the heat, we didn't see as many animals as we'd hoped but I have included some pix for the ones we saw. Can you find the Boyd's Forest Dragon in the picture on the right?  It was cool to see him running upright on his two hind legs.

From there we went to see Cape Tribulation, where the rain forest meets the Coral Sea.

Again we saw signs about the dreaded jellyfish stingers.  Who knew that vinegar to reduce the sting.

We stopped for a great lunch at the Daintree Teahouse and ended the day with a river cruise where we saw this guy sunning himself
