Daintree forest - Images and Information
The Daintree Rainforest is a tropical rainforest north of Mossman, Queensland, on the north east coast north of Cairns. At around 1200 square kilometres the Daintree is the largest continuous area of tropical rainforest on the Australian continent. Named after Richard Daintree, part of the forest is protected by the Daintree National Park and drained by the Daintree River. North of the Daintree River can be seen examples of tropical rainforest coming right down to the sea. The roads north of the Daintree River wind through areas of lush forest, and have been designed to minimize impacts on the forest.
