Some photos from the Daintree

Here are a few snaps from the trip with Billy Tea Bush Safaris:

 Horses and wallabies share a paddock in the early morning, north of Cairns.

A female croc (about 10 ft) sunning herself on the banks of the Daintree.

 A well-hidden baby croc.

Several basket ferns in the Daintree rainforest.

 Cycad.

Boyd's bearded forest dragon.  The guides call him Kevin.

 Wild cassowaries, dad and chick.   

Findlay makes himself taller than the lurking cassowary.

Coleen standing by mangroves at Cape Tribulation.  Note the complex root structure.

Mangroves send out 'snorkel' roots as a means of respiration when their main roots are water-covered.

A tiny sand crab caught by Brittany M.  

 Findlay illustrating a critical step in the intricate Australian Bush Tea Ceremony.
