Next morning, we went to the Kuilki Rainforest walk to see sunrise from Cape Tribulation. The best place to view sunrise is the beach of Cape Tribulation.
Waiting for Mr Sunny
Oops... Has the sun risen?
Still waiting patiently
Looks like sunrise has just happen!!
Finally~~ What a long wait for the sunrise...
Myall Beach, accessible from the camping ground
Other activities beside walking and viewing are paying money for horse riding, tropical fruit tasting tour, kayaking, and river cruising.
Cute sand formation during low tide....
The world heritage rainforest in the background and great barrier reef out in the sea... (cannot see from here lar..)
Another walking track in daintree, Marrdja Botanical Walk. This walk allows good view of the mangrove trees and bird observation.
Strangled....
View from inside... Cool...
Mangrove roots...
Basket fern
Mangroves are very important to the river estuaries as they able to filter the salt or sea water into sweet, riverine water. Such amazing to know that tree has huge contribution to the environment.
Thornton Beach
After Daintree, a short drive back to Mossman we stopped at Mossman Gorge for a swim! The river is so clear and greenish in colour...
Two ways to get into Mossman Gorge World Heritage area is to take the shuttle bus from the information center or to walk because vehicles are not allowed in the reserve. We walked, took about 30mins so that we don't have to pay $4.80 per person =P
Not a really good decision to swim in this river, because it is so COLD!!! But this gorge is worth the walk, very relaxing. After the quick swim, we drive back to Cairns.
Back at Cairns,
we found a cheaper caravan to stay in Cairns, with power for only $26
at Sunland Leisure Caravan Park. Comparing with Cairns Holiday Park
($34 for unpowered during peak season), it is so much cheaper. The
only problem might be the security around this suburb, just don’t
wander around at night. Else it’s all good.
