Australia Trip- Cairns
September 2007
The first photo is of a fern/bromeliad covered tree in the park at Cairns. Then a series of photos out over the coast on the way up to Daintree Rain Forest. This setting is spectacular and features a tall tower from which we could look out over the canopy of the rain forest. We then traveled up the coast to Port Douglas.
We stopped and watched a Cassowary feeding alongside the road north of Cairns. A rule while observing Cassowaries- Never turn your back on them as they are known to attack and can do severe damage with their claws.
The next series of photos were taken in a drive up into the hills west of Cairns.
