RE: Travel Blog | Daintree Rainforest Australia | 10th Anniversary Holiday

in #travelblog7 years ago

Hey @andyfishman yeah it was too nice, didn't want to come back!

We've seen a Cassowary with chicks once before at another place we stayed at (I forget the name) but the day came literally within feet of me while I was collecting firewood. He just looked at me and walked away, chicks in tow. The owners of the place had told us they often come here so I wasn't scared, just caught me off guard. Surreal exeperience seeing them in the wild and very lucky :)

There's been a few croc sightings off Palarenda and even the Strand. Oonoonba bridge was where the old meatworks was so yeah no doubt about that! I used to graffiti under that bridge lol always keeping ears out for people and crocs. I think there's gotta still be freshwater crocs in Ross River but I have never seen any.

Sort:  

Yeah, saw a good size one off the rockpool at the strand when we were down there for a swim one night.
