Rianforest Habitat and Mossman Gorge



This morning we went to The Rainforest Habitat Wet Tropics Rainforest to have breakfast with the birds. This was an hour road trip along along the Coral Sea coast past miles of sugar cane fields. We arrived to have a wonderful breakfast in the wildlife sanctuary amongst the birds. They didn't bother us while we ate, and they were all around us. What a sight! This area became a World Heritage area in 1970. Cairns is the only area in the world to have two World Heritage sites. The Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef. We then walked around the sanctuary and fed the adorable kangaroos and wallabies. I fed a mom and her Joey together - and the baby didn't know what to do with the food! He was still on his mom's milk. We saw a few Joeys peeking out of the mom's pouches. We continued our lecture and tour watching crocodiles, koalas, emus, many marsupials, and tons of birds. We then went to Mossman Gorge and hiked the rainforest - in the rain! Lovely. Our Guide on this trip was a former real live crocodile hunter, and told fascinating stories the entire trip! We have the afternoon off so I am blogging, checking my e-mail, and getting my pictures put on CD's at one hour photo. This evening we are going out for a meal on the boardwalk and just chill! Then packing and on to Sydney tomorrow to wrap up the last few days of our trip. I am still stressing about how I am going to get my didgeridoo home!
