the Daintree and lowland tropical rainforest
The name ‘Daintree’ is used to refer to several different areas, including the Daintree River, a small town, a national park, and the general region. The latter is often used to describe much of the area north from the Daintree River to just south of the Bloomfield Valley, however the actual ‘Daintree National Park’ is slightly different to this general perception and covers a large area south of the Daintree River. It is divided into several sections, the two largest being the ‘Mossman Gorge section’ and the ‘Cape Tribulation section’, with the Daintree River roughly in between the two.
There is a range of things to do in daintree region.
One of my favourite spots for photographs and filming is:
Daintree Discovery Centre
