MY FIRST VLOGGING ATTEMPT!! Come along on a journey to where the rain forest meets the sea in FNQ, Australia
A lot of searching through Dtube introduction posts, asking a friend for advice and a few hours later I am finally able to share my first ever vlog with the community. Man this is exciting!!!
I traveled to Daintree National Park in Far North Queensland, Australia with a friend the other day and documented my journey in this stunning part of the country. This world heritage site is known to be the oldest living rain forests on the planet and is home to one of Australia's largest flightless birds, the cassowary. These large multicolored birds are essential to many endemic species that grow in the region. When a cassowary ingests the seeds of these plants it passes through their digestive system and becomes more readily able to grow. These birds dietary behaviors not only increase the probability of these seeds germinating from 2% to 90%, they also act as transporters so the species of the forest can spread their genetics far and wide. This is truly a place that anyone traveling in this region of the country should experience. Be mindful though, the free camping sites are closed in the wet season so you will get stuck paying a hefty fee ($25Aus) just to camp; we learned this the hard way!
I hope you enjoy your tour through this jewel of our planet as much as I did! Happy watching :)

Want to have your post on the map too?
That's a nice little slice of paradise!
Glad we could share this experience! :)
Daintree Rainforest is a paradise and should be preserved. Looking at that photo above reminds me about tropical rainforest in my country, Malaysia.
It makes me sick when I see logging activities especially the illegal ones in Malaysia. Forest helps us a lot. They take water ( from rain and groundwater) and give back to us via streams and rivers.
I believed you could feel the fresher air there in Daintree. How was the climate there? Hot?
So many points to agree with in your comment @sapawi! It is hard to see human beings abusing our natural resources around our planet; especially when it is in these nature preserves! I'm glad to report that it seems like Australia is doing a very good job at keeping this region of the country free from these types of abuses. It is the wet season now so the humidity is quite high here in the subtropics but nothing a quick dip in a swimming hole can't fix. Have to pay attention to the crocodile warning signs though!! Those creatures will eat you up in a moment if they have the chance! Where in Malaysia are you from? I will be traveling to Borneo in May. Would love to hear more about beautiful places worth visiting in your country if you have the time to share :)
Good
Thanks mate!
