The drive there was pretty - very rural, sugarcane plantation after plantation. Kind of like Hawaii was back in the day! Once we hit Daintree Rainforest, we saw lots of signs warning us of the Cassowary bird, a flightless bird. The best was this one:
Again, because of Jocelyn's excellent research, we went with the Jungle Surfing company. We got geared up in a harness and a helmet - all with their own name on it. Je was Tinkerbell (she was almost Stifler's Mum!!!), Sean was Spiderman, and I was Cinderella.
There was a total of 4 platforms. I think we expected the distance between the platforms to be longer, but no matter - it was still fun! Especially when they let us go fast or upside down. :)
After, we drove back but stopped along the road to check out the beaches. It was relatively low tide so we got to see some cool things. Like this:
Obviously something was under the sand, oxygenating, and thus sending up piles of wet sand - almost seemed like gross worms! Ewwww!
Je and me on the Beach:
Later, we stopped at another beach and this time, we saw these sections covered in little sand balls!
But they made beautiful patterns.
We also happened upon the Daintree Ice Cream Company. Mmmm. They have a gorgeous orchard of all different fruits in front and they make ice cream with what is in season. They had Black Sapote, Wattleseed, Mango, and Coconut. We all had our favorites - mine was wattleseed and je's was mango - but honestly, they were all very tasty!
