Tribulation for the day. Our first stop was at Mossman Gorge where we wandered through the forest next to the river until we came across a swing bridge. We had great fun jumping up and down on it!!
Next we went to Daintree Wildlife Park and were given a tour seeing wallabies, kangaroos, crocodiles and a number of birds. The best bit came at the end though, when we were able to hold a joey! So cute!
We got the ferry across the river and arrived at Cape Tribulation - 
shame the weather wasn't nicer for our time on the beach (but there was a warning about stingers so we wouldn't have gone in the sea anyway!) A large Water Monitor tried to join us for lunch but he was shoo-ed away! We also saw a very large Giant Orb spider by the toilets - I managed to get a photo of it by standing on a ledge in the men's loos (there was no-one in there!!)
We then tried various flavours of Daintree Ice Cream before we headed into the rain forest where it began to rain (well you would expect it in a rain forest!!) We had a botany lesson from our guide who showed us many types of trees and vines which was really interesting.
We then had a crocodile cruise along the river and managed to see one or two (but they were keeping themselves close to the bank and pretty well hidden!) We also had a stowaway - a little green Tree Frog who posed quite nicely for photos! We then headed back to Cairns.
