Hi Everyone,
Trek North Safaris is delighted to let you know that Daintree River Salt Water crocodile sightings are a big highlight of our fantastic tour at this time of the year. The cooler weather means these amazing cold blooded animals are regularly out of the water on the river banks in the warm sun. Our lucky passengers are getting close up looks at these huge and wonderful creatures in their natural habitat - no fences out there! Have your cameras ready!
Minke and Humpback whales have arrived on the Daintree Coast during their annual migration north from the Southern Ocean. Sometimes they can be spotted from the verandah at Daintree Seascapes.
The marine stinger (jellyfish) season for far north QLD is now over. Once again it is safe to swim at our beaches without a net.
Come and stay at Daintree Seascapes, a holiday house nestled right in the Daintree Rainforest. A bird watchers dream, you can hear and see the birdlife from both verandahs in the house. There is even a sunbird family nesting on the front verandah at the moment. Come and watch as they raise their chicks.
Daintree Seascapes is the perfect getaway for a family. Get in now to book the house for your family for the school holidays.
The sun birds that have been nesting on the verandah at Daintree Seascapes have had chicks hatch. You can sit and relax on the verandah while watching the adult birds come to and from the nest to feed their chicks.... a beautiful experience!
With the wind picking up this week take the chance to stay on land and check out our tropical rainforest. Visit the Daintree and explore, dine, relax and swim in the fresh water swimming holes. Cool off in the Daintree!
Thanks to the generous support of many donors like Trek North Safaris to ‘The Rainforest Rescue Foundation’, they have just purchased a 12th property in the Daintree. They signed the documents on 10th May 2010, so Lot 10 Milky Pine Rd is now safe from development and can continue to provide habitat for the endangered Cassowary and Bennett’s Tree-kangaroo (pictured) as well as many other unique and threatened species. Lot 10 Milky Pine Road is truly a special place. It is one of the most pristine properties they have been involved in purchasing so far, having never been cleared or developed at all. This means they have managed to secure a pocket of the Daintree that has been rainforest continuously for 100 million years! This property will help ensure that these vital links are maintained both for their scientific and aesthetic value well into the future. Buying back properties in the Daintree is the most effective way that we can take action to protect this habitat from development forever. Over the last 10 years, with the help of their supporters, Rainforest Rescue has now purchased 12 Daintree properties. That’s a significant achievement and one that has had an enormous impact on the ecology of the Daintree world Heritage listed Rainforest.In response to their appeal, hundreds of donors not only helped raise the $52,607 they needed to complete this purchase; they also contributed to a significant surplus of $10,839! This will be put towards their next property which they are looking for right now J Supporters of ‘Rainforest Rescue Foundation’ are determined to take positive action and realise their desire to see our unique and beautiful rainforest protected forever. Rainforest Rescue is a not-for-profit organisation that has been protecting and restoring rainforests in Australia and internationally since 1998 by providing opportunities for individuals and businesses to Protect Rainforests Forever. Their projects re-establish rainforests through planting, maintenance and restoration programs, as well as purchasing and protecting high conservation value rainforest and preserving its biodiversity. The future of Rainforest Tourism north of Cairns is under constant threat from developers and for its futures sake, and its inhabitants, it needs to simply be taken off the market. Trek North are proud sponsors of RRF and will continue to be so with your help. Thank you for your time and if I may leave you with this fact: Of the 19 most ancient plant families worldwide, 12 are found in the Daintree Rainforest!
