compelling motivations to explore the wonders of the Daintree Rainforest:
The Daintree, a place steeped in Indigenous tradition and replete with mountains, flowing streams, cascading falls, pools, and astounding variation, entices exploration.
Located in the World Heritage Wet Tropics Rainforest, the Kuku Yalanji people have lived in this dynamic region of Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef for millennia, leaving behind a heritage that dates back about 60,000 years. Every aspect of this complex ecosystem reveals snippets of the past of the land; it is a living history book for the guardians of the land as well as a cultural archive where plants and animals have coexisted since the time of Gondwana.
With a territory bigger than Sydney and an age older than the Amazon by millions of years, the Daintree rainforest ensures that your exploration will never stop. Curious? These are twelve strong arguments for heading north to discover the Daintree's beauties for yourself.
