The Daintree Rainforest is part of what’s known as the Wet Tropics of Queensland and is a World Heritage Site. It’s the oldest continually surviving rainforest on earth – thought to be 70 million years older than the Amazon – and has the highest concentration of primitive flowering plant families in the world. There are plants and animals here that aren’t found anywhere else and plants that the dinosaurs would have eaten.
As well as being environmentally important, it’s also culturally significant – with the rainforest providing both food and medicine for the indigenous people who had lived here for many thousands of years before we set foot in the area.
On top of all of that, the Daintree is the only place on earth where two world heritage sites meet – the forest and the reef.
It also just happens to be today’s post for #treesquares. I’m linking up with Becky this month for her tree squares challenge where we post photos of trees, any trees, in sure format. You’ll find Becky’s most recent post here.
And Anyways... 
How beautiful! Thanks for sharing such a special place.
Ditto what Janis said. I want to walk through there!
It’s a magical place.
It really is special.
We love tree kangaroos; how neat to see what their natural habitat looks like.
I actually saw them in the wild last time I was in FNQ – not this time though.
Beautiful! How lovely that you’ve had another trip up to FNQ. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the Daintree (before kids) but I loved it so much there that I know I’ll be back some day.
what a beautiful rain forest, your #TreeSquares are fantastic
Have visited here, but unfortunately with my leg in plaster to the knee so couldn’t properly appreciate it 😟. Who knows when I will get the chance again?
What a unique & precious eco-system! Thank you for sharing this, Jo.
It’s such a special place.
I really have to get up there one day!
