This morning we had the option to rent kayaks for the day, but when we read that crocodile’s were sighted daily at Myall Beach and to stay away from the water’s edge we thought it would be a good idea to avoid the tiny plastic kayak and we signed up for Jungle Surfing instead. We thought it would be a good way to get a bird’s eye view of the oldest rainforest in the world by zip lining from tree to tree. There were some great views from the platforms and it was spectacular to see the rainforest meet the reef. It’s the only place in the world where two world heritage listed areas meet – the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. It was another beautiful day, and apparently this is the driest wet season this area has seen in years. The zip lining was really fun and by the last platform we were literally upside down going from tree to tree. 
After our head rushes were gone from being upside down, we went on 3 walks through the Cape Tribulation section of the Daintree National Park. We didn’t walk anywhere near the water’s edge in fear of being eaten by a crocodile. During the Dubuji walk we saw 2 more cassowaries with an older baby that didn’t have his black color yet. We didn’t stay for too long because we didn’t have the car to protect us this time, but they were very admirable to watch. We also saw two snakes, Ulysses butterflies and a giant stick bug. At first it looked like a dead leaf, until I saw its head. It was probably a foot long, not exaggerating! After a full 24 hours in Cape Tribulation (the farthest North we will get on our trip), it was time to start making our way back down. We stopped into Port Douglas and walked around the main road and shops.
There was a nice lookout but it was very windy. We are probably going to come back here in a few days to go on a day tour for one last Great Barrier Reef experience. Unfortunately, there was a bad car accident on the coastal highway we were on, so traffic was stopped for about 35 minutes, but we bumped into a friend we had met on our boat tour and chatted with him for a while. We pulled over for the night at Ellis beach and set up our tent with an ocean view.
