“Eperiencing first hand the ancient forest at Cooper Creek Wilderness is simply breath-taking. It is easy to see why Prue and Neil, our guides for the day and night walks, have such passion for this unique and sacred place. Sharing their detailed knowledge of the plants and animals of the Daintree with us as we walked among the ancient trees allowed us really to appreciate the need to preserve such a valuable natural asset. The diversity and richness of life in this wilderness is astounding: from the tiny white tree-snails and Boyd’s forest dragons, endemic to the Daintree, to the towering cathedral like fan palms, mahogonies and figs which have stood for centuries, the sense of heritage is ever present.
It may be some time before I can visit Australia again but I know that when I do, I will return to this wonderful place.”
