Daintree Forest

The Daintree Rainforest is a region on the northeastern coast of Queensland, Australia, and is the world's oldest tropical rainforest, dating back over 180 million years. It is a part of the largest contiguous area of tropical rainforest in Australia and is home to a vast array of plant and animal species, including 30% of the total frog, reptile, and marsupial species in Australia. The forest is named after the Daintree River and is a rare survivor of 120 million years of altered climatic conditions. The Daintree National Park, which includes the Mossman Gorge and Cape Tribulation sections, offers opportunities for hiking, walking, and exploring the rainforest, as well as learning about the culture of the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people, the traditional owners of the land. The area is also home to beautiful beaches, fringing reefs, and crystal-clear waters, making it a unique and special place to visit
