The Daintree is the oldest tropical rainforest in the world, being 135 million years old. The Wet Tropics World Heritage-listed area of the Daintree Rainforest inspired the movie 'Avatar'. It is home to the largest continuous area of rainforest in Australia and often described as the land that time forgot.
Home to one of the most complex rainforest ecosystems on Earth; with over 1000 plant species, 1/3 of Australia's mammal species and half of Australia's bird species!... When Sir David Attenborough calls something “the most extraordinary place on earth”, you know it has got to be seen to be believed.
