Daintree Rainforest

Daintree Rainforest is the single largest block of tropical rainforest in Australia. It covers approximately 1,200 square kilometers stretching from the Daintree River north to Cooktown and West to the Great Divide.

The rainforest has the most complex ecosystem on earth. Its plant diversity and structural complexity is not seen anywhere else on the Australian continent. Daintree Rainforest is one of the few rainforests that have survived with the change in weather conditions around Australia. It is home to many species that were able to grow and survive during all these years. One of the popular species is the Idiot Fruit (Idiospermum australiense). It is one of the rarest and most primitive of the flowering plants. Daintree region is home to 12 of the 19 primitive flowering plants families on Earth. This proves the depth and strength of the Daintree Rainforests.

However, Daintree Rainforests offer more than mysterious species of plants. The landscape around the region is fabulous. It consists of amazing scenery, mountain ranges, streams and waterfalls.

Overall, it is not hard to see why the region is a World Heritage listed place.
