To reach Cape Tribulation we need to cross the Daintree River by Ferry

ee Vehicles queue to board the Ferry

If you are thinking of paddling across… think again!

The Ferry approaches the shore

and gets closer.

As you can see, it is capable of carrying quite heavy vehicles.

This “River Train” offers tourists a scenic tour of the Daintree River

On the ferry deck there is no room to spare.

From a lookout at the side of the road we can see the mouth of the Daintree River.

Morning glory weed invades the rainforest near the road side lookout

At the Discovery Centre we get to “discover” the Rain Forest

by walking though it on a series of walkways

that allow us to experience the plants and their foliage

up close

and at different levels.

A handset is available to listen to a commentary as we go.

We start in the very depths of the forest

and start to climb upwards

towards the top.

We climb through the canopy

higher and higher

We break through

until we are looking across its top.

Looking down on the trees

and into their branches

as we make our way down again

towards the bottom

until we reach the forest floor,

to find a tangle of roots and vines.

After all that climbing we seek refreshment

which we enjoy sitting out in the sun

surrounded by orchards of exotic fruits.

A true Garden of Eden.

The road continues North through the rain forest

crossing creeks

As they meander towards the sea.

At the end of the road

is a walk through the mangrove swamp to the beach.

Fortunately we are above the mud

Buttress roots hold the trees firmly in the mud.

The mangrove roots are exposed by the receding tide.

We break through to the beach

and look North towards Cape Tribulation.

Some brave the cold to catch some sun

but the bad weather has caused us to discover the rainforest and all the vegetation that the area has to offer.
