Spring Stories From The Ancient Rainforest

Red Peak / Guriguri Bunda: is a magical place to be but it is made even more awesome when we get a visit from a special guest!

The Edge Lookout, where getting up close to Barron Falls/ Dindin is simply magnificent 🌿

Did you know? 🌳
The rainforest and reef ecosystems are connected through the flow of nutrients. Rainfall in the rainforest carries organic material and nutrients from the forest floor into rivers and streams, which eventually flow into the ocean. These nutrients support the growth of marine life, including the coral reefs. 🐟🌿

It can grow up to 20m long and typically blooms in the spring...or right now at our Kuranda Terminal!
