Cape Tribulation

---

After spending another night in Cairns we drove north up to Cape Tribulation. Again, this was a really good drive for sight-seeing. We crossed the Daintree river on the ferry and then stopped off and had some lunch at Myall Beach before going to Cape Trib. It's one of the most beautiful places we've ever seen. You walk through thick rainforest to a sweeping beach. The rainforest is literally on the beach. There's also mangrove forests on the beach. You look out to sea and can see the Great Barrier Reef. It is stunning. After Cape Trib we travelled back down to Noah Beach where we went on a rainforest walk. It was a fantastic rainforest. So many creepers and amazing looking trees - it was so humid it's like being in a greenhouse. We went to Cow Bay and then spent the night in the rainforest at Cape Kimberly, right on the beach. It was a good experience - a lot of creepy crawlies though!

Monitoring the situation
We disturbed this beast as it was either building a nest, or raiding one (and it looked slightly guilty if you ask me!).

GORGEous
