Daintree Rainforest & Cape Tribulation

Well it has been quite an adventure so far. We have already moved onto the next location and have arrived safely in Brisbane. However I have been slacking and forgot to write about our Daintree Rainforest adventure on our last day in Cairns. The rainforest was nice but a bit hot, sweaty, humid. You will never catch me spending more than a few hours in the rainforest. It was quite lovely though. We did a day tour and started off at a beautiful lookout.

After that we stopped off at the beach in Port Douglass.

Next stop was the Daintree Rainforest national park. We went on a few walks then had some grilled fish for lunch at this picnic area by the river. We also got to see the Daintree insect museum. It was pretty cool too.

After lunch we got back on the bus and headed to Cape Tribulation Beach. Aka. Where the reef meets the rainforest.

To end the day we had a Crocodile tour on a little boat on the Daintree River. We did spot a few crocs so that was pretty exciting!

I would have to say our time in Cairns was really fun but I am so excited to be in Brisbane and to see what that has to offer. It has been a bit wet so far so we haven't done much. We thought we were escaping the rainy season by traveling further south but little did we know a cyclone was coming!!! It has been raining the past two days and half the streets here are flooded. I think tomorrow will be nice so Cassie and I plan to go look at houses for a more permanent living situation. We plan to stay in Brisbane for 2-3 months. Maybe longer if I get a good job here. Everyone here is so nice and welcoming. I can't wait to get out of the house and explore the city a bit when the rain stops!
