Daintree forest tour

Visited Mossman gorge and discovered Tarzan must be a fake as those cords he swings on are like barbed wire! Then went onto the boat tour at Daintree river to see the crocodiles - but not before stopping for tea and seeing a tree frog, tent spider (big) and the golden orb spider (bigger and with 4 different types of silk - sticky, wet and dry, dry and steel!). Then Alexander's view point, Noah's creek and onto cape tribulation, where we saw hibiscus trees and mangrove trees on the beach and a goanna. We followed this with a barbeque lunch and a swim in a freshwater pool. Cath was asked if she was Irish? because she didn't flinch at the temperature of the water (mild for us northerners). On for a rainforest walk where, amongst other things, we saw deadly plants, a lace dragon, Victoria rifle birds and a cassowary with her chicks. Finally to an ice cream farm and back to Port Douglas via the ferry. Oh and hawthorn beat fremantle to win the Aussie rules cup. All in all a good day.
