Visit the Daintree Rainforest in Tropical North Queensland

The Daintree Rainforest is one of the most popular attractions for visitors to Australia's Tropical North Queensland region. Along with being on the World Heritage list it is a place like no other, older than the Amazon, having an unending ecological and historical significance. The World Heritage listing is due to it's importance in the history of the world and our understanding of that history.

In addition to all the historical significance it is just a cool place to go see and wander about. It is a big place with the lushness of the foilage going further than you can view. Daintree has a great location, being approximately forty five minutes from Port Douglas, and one and a half hours away from Cairns. No matter where you stay in the TNQ you won't be far from the rainforest.

Daintree accommodations are very varied and cater to all budgets. There are some ultra modern spas with private cabins nestled in the rainforest as well as the incredibly beautiful Daintree Riverview Caravan Park. These modest accommodations are offered at an incredible price and offer spectacular views of the Daintree River. It is a great place to stay if you are a true nature lover or on a limited budget.

An amazing part of this wilderness is how the rainforest goes right to the Great Barrier Reef, which is of course another World Heritage site. In the Daintree Rainforest the plants are really special, some of them having been about the same as they were on earth back one hundred million years past. In this eco system there are some angiosperms considered the first flowering plants on earth are still alive there. If you want you can find a number of guided tours or self guided tours to help you learn and know where to wander.

Having an unending number of attractions and natural wonders in the Tropical North Queensland is amazing but some of the very best sites are those coming out of the earth, all the natural habitats and ecologies. They are all full of their own special splendor and you will experience it no matter where you lay your head and no matter what your budget is, there is something here for everyone to enjoy.
