Moving on further north still, we crossed the river Daintree by cable ferry and entered the humid world of the Daintree rainforest. This is another of those rare places where the rainforest comes right down to the sea and in places changes rapidly to mangroves which actually grow partially in the ocean.
We went as far as Cape Tribulation, passing an unexpected tea plantation which grows and produces its own unblended tea. We were able to buy a packet and a very nice cuppa it is too.
The walks around Cape Tribulation were very interesting as you start off in the rainforest, walk along the beach for a while and then head back through swampy mangroves.
