The Daintree Rainforest's addition to the World
Heritage List in 1988 in recognition of its universal natural values
highlighted the rainforest as being:
An outstanding example of the major stages in the earth's evolutionary
history
An outstanding example of significant ongoing ecological and biological
processes
An example of superlative natural phenomena, and
Containing important and significant habitats for conservation of
biological diversity.
The Daintree Rainforest is over one hundred and thirty-five million
years old – the oldest in the world. Approximately 430 species of
birds live among the trees, including 13 species that are found nowhere
else in the world.
For tourists, this unique corner of the world offers an outdoor holiday
that few other places on the globe can match. There are hiking
trails, scenic lookouts, camping sites, picnic tables and swimming
holes to be explored in the Daintree. In addition, visitors to
the area can stay in eco-friendly accommodation and eat at cafes and restaurants
that specialise in local delicacies.
Visiting the Daintree Rainforest exposes tourists to a wonderful
outdoor experience:
Untouched tropical rainforest
Golden beaches with calm water
Hiking tracks
Thousands of species of birds and other wildlife
Remote wilderness
Ecological information about the most diverse ecosystem in the world
The Daintree has everything a wilderness lover can ask for. But
the most important drawcard to the area is a product Australia is famous
for: life-threatening flora and fauna. Make no mistake; if you want to
be chewed on by a croc, chomped on by a snake or nibbled by a spider,
the Daintree Rainforest could be just what you are looking for.
Please peruse this website to gain an appreciation of the Daintree
Rainforest. This is a special part of the world. If you have any feedback
