Cairns & Cape Tribulation

After our explorations of the GBR, we took one day to visit Cape Tribulation and its surrounding areas. It is located within the Daintree National Park and the Wet Tropics World Heritage area and lies approximately 110 km from Cairns. We wanted see and drive and hike through some serious rainforest: we weren't disappointed either.

But again, NO swimming... EVER!

This picture is taken at a very special place... its where the tropical rainforest leads directly into the sea. It is just a place of extreme biodiversity (we didn't catch any critters on camera though). Imagine driving across a small and winding road to through a tropical rainforest that seems untouched by man. Sometimes spooky, but always beautiful. And with all this beauty in mind, we drove back down to Cairns.

Now there are no pictures of Cairns as it is just an average sized city with nothing really special to offer. Like most of the times, we used the city to get organized again. And this time, it was going to be for one of Australia's major attractions: Uluru / Ayer's Rock, right in the red centre of the island-continent (and part of the Northern Territory). So pray for us, do your (naked) raindances, and hope that we'll fly in alive!
