Today it was time for Daintree National Park. It is about 80 km north of Cairns.
This is a preserved rainforest park.
At the entrance, there was this warning sign for turkeys. Another sign said they were stealing food at the tables, so we should not feed them. Better be careful... :-)
I am getting quite used to these water hazards now. They are becoming quite fun! Take aim and drive quickly, and it splashed everywhere! :-)
Here is the little turkey, at the picnic tables. He seemed very friendly. However, a guy I met told me that it had run away with one of his 20 dollar bills! (Wonder how it intended to use it...? )
A small splashing stream. Can't resist taking a photo of it...
Many trees seem to interleave their root systems...
All plants seem to be in symbiosis with each other.
A tiny waterfall, followed by a very relaxing stream...
Look at this view! The clouds are covering the mountain! Wonderful!
Looks like walking in a tropical rainforest, doesn't it? You are correct!
Many plants like to grow on trees.
This tree has an enormous rout system!
Just a tiny tree prevents this giant rock from rolling!
... or maybe these two stones helped. But nothing else prevented this rock from rolling all over me!
These tree roots are big, and not under ground like we are used to, rather in the air.
Sometimes I had to walk across a small stream. Quick steps, and I successfully came over to the other side.
I little wider stream. Quick steps on the rocks, and I was over on the other side.
Strangely one of the leaves was purple...?
The mosquitos were quite active... :-(
I will remember to wear long sleeves next time...
