Some questions and comments from friends.
The waterfall was terrific in the last blog, in this blog we see another fall called The Bloomfield Falls,
we were on croc alert here, as a "big croc"
hangs around the falls and calls them home
.
Andrew and Steven, let us know when you would like to skype,
it would be great to catch up with you guys again. Jackson & Harry.
Alex T.The Cassowaries are dangerous and should not be approached,
there are a few cool road warning signs about Cassowaries.
The large claws can cause major damage.
Codi D. We saw heaps of cool marine life.
It was like swimming around in a humungous fish tank, the coral was spectacular.
Mr Wheeler can let you know about some of the marine life found off Fiji as well.
This was a super special excursion out to the reef.
Jackson and Harry took their Math and English work to do on the boat on our way out.
I promise you that they are working ever so hard.!!!!!!
James: We have made our way to Cooktown,
would have liked to trip up to Cape York,
but the weather is extremely hot and humid for the rest of the year, making it an unbearable trip.
Next time.
Mr Wheeler, the kids in 5/6W have definately earned a 2 week break.
We are sure you have worked them hard this year.
Jackson & Harry.
Mount Sorrow, the Daintree.
Crossing the Daintree River via the ferry. For $22 return.
A ferry visitor.
This part of the country is unique, as 2 World Heritage Listed Areas
(The Daintree Rainforest and The Great Barrier Reef) are side by side.
The rainforest meets the ocean and the reef.
Cassowary warnings.
The Mangrove roots keep seeking ground to anchor on and provide for the tree.
The Bloomfield Falls. A big croc calls this area home. So be aware.
These mountains are huge piles of block granite, this photo shows only 5% of this mountain.
Good old Captain Cook, he has been everywhere. Here he is in Cooktown.
Another pub with heaps of different memorabilia on the walls and a lot of signatures /comments.
Where are those salt water crocs?????
The strangler fig takes over the host tree and eventually kills it off.
The Vines actually grow from a seed that is deposited via bird droppings in the tree. The vines grow down towards the grouns where they anchor on and grow, eventually taking over the host tree.
Cool stuff hey????
Our first unsuccessful fishing trip on Newell Beach. We got the tides wrong and only got two bites in our fishing session. No dinner tonight!!!!!!!
The Buttress roots help the stabilty of the tree among other jobs.
The water here was pretty cold.
Brrrrrrrrrr.......this is way to cold.
The Sugarcane is being cut before the wet season and the Cane trains bring in the harvest.
They take the cane to the sugar mills.
We were lucky enough to take on a nightwalk tour of the Daintree Rainforest, this was done without cameras , as we didn't want to spook too many animals.
