Daintree Rainforest

I have now found my most favourite place in Oz - Cape Tribulation! And needless to say I am now certain that I am at my most happiest in the middle of greenery, rainforest or jungle.

If I have to have heat I have to have humidity and if I have to have greenery I have to have wild, bushy and deeply forested areas.

But my only one …

Hey mates!

We hebben Azië inmiddels achter ons gelaten en genieten al weer een ruime week van al het moois dat Australië ons te bieden heeft. Het is toch wel heerlijk om al het westers comfort weer te hebben wat we altijd zo normaal hebben gevonden. Je mist het pas als je het niet meer hebt. HOERA! Niet langer: een koude douche of grote …

Port Douglas,

Port Douglas is amazing!! There is so much to do and see here, The Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation and even a gorgeous beach.

Our first big tour was to the Great Barrier Reef. We were on the Quicksilver Reef Cruises. It was a pretty big boat, a family friendly snorkelling adventure! It took …

I got picked up outside the hostel around 8am for my rainforest trip today. And it is raining a fair bit too. The drive took us through World Heritage Rainforest and along World Heritage Coastline. We passed Ellis Beach, but didn't stop so I couldn't get a photo of the sign.

Our first stop was Port Douglas. We didn't stop in town, but it …

Hello

Rented a car today and headed up to Cape Tribulation, beautiful 3 hour coastal drive, Alan is becoming quite adept at maneuvering these coastal, turn after turn roads.

We went Jungle surfing in the Daintree Rainforest, this is a really neat experience as you are basically doing a nice and slow Zip line over top the …

Alle sagen, dass man die Ostkueste Australiens am besten mit einem eigenen Auto bereist und nachdem wir die Preise fuer den Bus und die Hostels mit einem eigenen Van verglichen haben, haben wir uns auch fuer einen Van entschieden. In unserem Chubby konnten wir reisen, kochen und schlafen und das oft mit einem "Zimmer" mit Meerblick. Ausserdem hat …

Today we woke up at around 9 AM. We got ready and packed a bag because we were going Jungle Surfing, on ziplines. It was a 3 hour drive.
We left our room at 10 AM, and called a tzi. We took our taxi to the rental car place, where we go our car. We started driving toward Cape Tribulation, where our tour was. We drove for about 1h30 minutes …

We had more beautiful weather in Cairns today. It makes me excited to be home where it's summer time. Our bus showed up and our tour guide named Pete jumped out. We were a little behind schedule but Meg, Olivia, and I were soon on our way north to the Daintree Rainforest via Cape Tribulation Connections. The bus was big enough for maybe twenty …
