This Gorge is the epitome of Daintree Tropical Forest. Once inside the park, a shuttle bus takes you to the trail heads. The rain forest circuit walk is only 1.5 miles and is stuffed full of amazing plants, trees, and darting small animal. Sign on with an indigenous guide at the visitor's center, a most excellent information hub, to explain the medicinal uses of and spiritual significance of the flora you walk thru. Much of the plant life is injurious to your skin so be aware, don't touch, just look. Mooks is an indigenous guide, who will give you an unforgettable experience on many levels during your Dreamtime Walk.

What a great experience at the Daintree Discovery Centre! Well worth a visit and time spent! You learn all about the Daintree Rainforest and region, about the natural environment, plants, fruits and flowers, wildlife, reptiles, insects and birds and cassawary to watch out for during your self guided walk as well as during your stay in the FNQ area. Great opportunity to walk through and discover everything about a rainforest on the board walks as you ascend to the very top of the rainforest with the tower in the centre. And then to discover the dinosaurs!! Self guided audio is also well spoken and informative.

OK I admit to being a bit of a bug nerd. I love the variety and cleverness of members of the insect and arachnid world. Who would have thought that one of the worlds foremost beetle collectors would house his collection on Turpentine Road in Diwan? Almost the middle of nowhere. I guess he is well know among beetle collectors. Be warned: he does not have any spiders on display. So if you are looking to identify one that you saw in your hotel closet, you will not get an answer here. But if you want to see an amazing variety of beetles and moths, don't miss this stop.
