Australia - Daintree Rainforest

The Daintree Rainforest in tropical north Queensland is not experiencing the horrendous flooding that exists in Rockhampton and Bundaburg regions, 1,000 kms. south of them. Happily, they are enjoying beautiful weather with birds, wildlife, waterfalls and streams to assault the senses. 

There's Nothing Like Australia, so maybe this is the time to pack your bags and travel to the world heritage rainforest that boasts the only place on earth where two world heritage sights meet-the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest.

Silky Oaks is an exclusive luxury  property on the lovely Mossman River near the spectacular Mossman Gorge. You will find hiking and rainforest experiences, as well as fine dining at this well respected eco lodge. There are 50 river and treehouses with verandas perched within the area. The gardens and rainforest offer a relaxing setting. And if that isn't enough, enjoy the Healing Waters Spa to take you to the edge of tranquility.

There's Nothing Like Australia! Contact a Premier Aussie Specialist to book your trip.
