๐Cairns, Australia
From Cairns, we wanted to see the Great Barrier Reef from below and went on a diving and snorkeling tour to Moore Reef. ๐ค
It was absolutely amazing! So beautiful and unforgettable. We saw reef sharks, turtles, amazing corals, and many different colorful fish. ๐ข๐
The next day, we drove to the Daintree National Park, the territory of the Kuku Yalanji. Here, we took a walk in the Mossman Gorge and went on a river tour where we spotted several saltwater crocodiles. ๐
Afterwards, we visited the Daintree Rainforest, the oldest living rainforest in the world (about 180 million years old, about 10 million years older than the Amazon). 1 square hectare of rainforest here has more living organisms than the entire United Kingdom. We hiked through the national park and had a view of Myalls Beach, where the rainforest directly borders the Great Barrier Reef. ๐ด
Finally, we got ice cream from the local Daintree ice cream parlor with special flavors like the Wattleseed plant. ๐จ
