the daintree rainforest in queensland (QLD) was our first destination after we left cairns. we have spent 2 nights in a rainforest lodge in cape tribulation. this is the place where two UNESCO natural heritage areas meet: the wet tropics daintree rainforest and the marine area great barrier reef (GBR).
after approx. 10 days we came back one more time, we simply couldn't leave queensland without a detailed visit of the mossman gorge 😉.

mossman gorge
of course, it rained a lot and we have spent a lot of valuable time walking on rainforest and mangroves trails, on the beach, swum in the mossman river in the beautiful mossman gorge and in some other creek. no, we did not swim in the sea because of crocodiles and the box jelly fish. unfortunately, we didn't see a cassowary in a free nature here, but at least later at mission beach.
