Started the day with mossman gorge - a jolly old aboriginal guy performed a welcome smoke ceremony and showed us the tribal ways.
Onward through a scenic gorge walkway - beautiful cascading waterfalls and lush greenery. A couple of brave souls even took a dip in the water.
Onward to Daintree rainforest - an interesting display of plant and animal life all struggling to survive , reach the sunlight , mate - through all means available. Leaves growing half bitten looking leaves to deter insects, plants growing thin tendrils with thorns to attach on to bigger trees to reach the sunlight, the king fern - biggest fern worldwide , leaves with hooks at their tips , trees branching at only the top.
Moving on to cape tribulations and Alexandra lookout - points where mt cook had a troubled time making towards across the Great Barrier Reef.
The crocodile cruise across the Daintree river lived up to expectations - caught sight of a lovely crocodile tailing us through most of the trip. Another croc was seen sunning himself on the river banks. A third was feeding on a rotten wild pig carcass by trying to bite it into pieces.
Culminated the day by signing up for skydiving...
