Daintree National Park
Queensland, north of Port Douglas, Australia
Description:
In the north of Queensland is located Daintree National Park. On 1200 square kilometers of Australian land here grows a unique rainforest, which has retained its original appearance. The forest is over 110 million years old, making it the oldest forest on our planet. That is why the forest is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and is protected from encroachments of mankind.
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the park for our planet. Daintree is home to a third of all natural species of frogs, reptiles and marsupials, 65% of all bat and butterfly species.
Daintree Park has an interesting beach called "Jumping Stones". Here, tourists can learn about the mysterious rituals conducted by the Kuku Yalandji tribe.
