We drove to Wonga Beach and the Peninsula Caravan park between Wonga Beach and DaintreeVillage. I must admit it is pleasant to be in parks for a change from free camping, and able to enjoy the luxury of showers and washing machines and water on tap.
On our first day, we caught the ferry across the Daintree river and drove north to Cape Tribulation, where Captain Cook holed his ship and was forced ashore .... hence the name. What a sight would have greeted him as the rainforest is so dense, right down to the ocean, and full of unfamiliar animals and birds.
We then drove part of the rugged Bloomfield Track to Emmagen Creek and onwards towards Cooktown. There were Swiss tourists swimming in the waterhole at the creek here but we didn't venture in. It was a bit cool for swimming but the crocodile warnings were enought to keep us out anyway.There were turtles and fish in the water and we watched some young guns on bikes speed through the rough rocky crossing. How they stay upright on two wheels beggars belief!

As we drove there were speed bumps and warnings of cassowary crossing the road but we are still to see one. They are endangered and we've been told we will see some around Mission Beach.
I think that worm you saw was a lugworm. When I was on my Cape Tribulation tours, I saw different animals like the white-lipped frogs and cassowaries. I had a wonderful trip there! You should try trekking the Daintree Rainforest too!
ReplyDeleteJust be extra cautious with cassowaries. They tend to attack if you step within their territories or get closer to their eggs/babies.
These are some great tools that i definitely use for SEO work. This is a great list to use in the future..
