The Daintree Rainforest in Australia's Wet Tropics contains 12 of the world's 19 families of primitive flowering plants. Its Gondwana origins have been established through 135 million years of continuous growth . It is now acknowledged as the oldest rainforest on earth. The evidence can be seen at Cooper Creek Wilderness situated directly below the epicentre, Thornton Peak. Guided interpreted rainforest walks and packages show case the extraordinary grandeur and beauty, the exceptional biodiversity and the extremely ancient stock of plants and animals. It is the only world heritage nature refuge where you can explore magnificent pristine fan palm forests in small exclusive groups with a local expert. Walks are on natural walking trails, traversing outstanding old-growth forest that cannot be seen elsewhere. Guides are inhabitants who love sharing their expertise and enthusiasm. Tours range from two hour guided day or night tours, to the Cooper Creek Wilderness Experience that includes the walk, a one hour mangrove cruise in search of elusive crocodiles and a delicious lunch beside the Cooper Creek or by combining this tour with an evening meal and a nocturnal walk. A new three hour Greater Wilderness Tour has been introduced. Visit their website for more information.
