Stillwater Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Oh no, I do not want to go into music here. I just want to continue our tour through the northern surroundings of Cairns... ... which was paused yesterday just after Mossman. Shortly after we reached Daintree River, ... ... where swimming is not totally recommended. Then we just crossed a little pass towards the Daintree Discovery Center https://www.discoverthedaintree.com/ The views of the rainforest are impressive, unfortunately you cannot hear the birds flying in this picture. NatureFlow at its best! Well, there is also some other NatureFlow here... They say you are lucky if you spot a Cassowary in wildlife https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_cassowary: "At the Daintree Discovery Centre you may be lucky enough to see one of these amazing birds wandering along the creek, foraging for fallen fruit. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!"". We even saw two of them during the day. Now back into the air. Do you see the hairpin corner just under the Bonanza? That is Alexandra Lookout. Worth a little stop, me thinks.... ... before we returned over Daintree River. Unfortunately the ferry is not shown in our AU scenery (yet...). Shortly after we were passing the settlements of Palm Cove... ... and Trinity Beach on the way back to the pubs of Cairns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got our feelings right, Martyn - we were just blown away by all these sightings. Good that my daughters stopped me from chasing the "worlds most dangerous bird"...

Thank you TT. The bird was moving so slow and calm, but my family stopped me from getting closer. Maybe a good decision... 19 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: Very cool Gerold! I'll bet money that yellow snake was highly toxic. Indeed the colour looks like a warning sign. But you never know, sometimes they are only survive because all potential offenders THINK they are poisonous. We gave her no chance to prove... It could have been a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morelia_spilota_cheynei (Jungle python)? If so she would be non-toxic. But I would not try.
