Aside from the Great Barrier Reef, one of the more spectacular attractions that Cairns has to offer can be found nearby; the Daintree Rainforest.

Unlike the Great Barrier Reef, which lines up a whole 2000 plus-something square kilometers; the Daintree Rainforest is quite smaller, approximately only 1200 square kilometers. But don't be fooled, because the Daintree Rainforest is probably the largest hunk of tropical rainforest in all over of Australia.

Take a campervan and go on a nature trip to do your body and soul some good. This forest holds the highest number of rare plants and animals, both diverse and unique in their own rights. Even through modern times, it is still battling the advances of modernization and global warming. Tourists and locals alike should visit this wonder of nature, in support and protection for this important bastion of ecology.
