17 August: Cape Tribulation

17 August
Cape Tribulation – Daintree National Park

Happy Birthday Daniel! We celebrated your birthday by taking the ferry over to Cape Tribulation and Daintree National Park.

What a beautiful area of Australia. The lush rainforest comes right to the edge of the road, quite dense and so very green. Sometimes the rainforest was on one side and the beautiful beach was on the other. We decided it was like bushwalking … except that you are in a car! (Now that is Merril’s style of bushwalking – no leeches or ticks!)

The highlight of the day had to be when we stopped to try some exotic fruit icecream and a cassowary and juvenile decided to walk around the orchard! The adult was beautifully coloured. They just took their time wandering around. We felt very privileged to have seen them.

Isaiah – look what we saw today! A dinosaur that moves …  is it real?
