HAVE you had a chance to check out the spectacular new Daintree Rainforest website? Magnificent beauty and extraordinary biodiversity presented through a gallery of images in full-screen format. The complexities of the oldest surviving rainforest in the world continue to challenge humanity as it strives to comprehend the continuity of growth, the intricate relationships and the incredible diversity established over 160 million years. The image gallery is partitioned into aerial, fauna, flora, forest, insect and spider lists, for your convenience…
The relictual Gondwanan portion of the world-famous Daintree Rainforest, exists exclusively within the central three valleys off the eastern flank of Thornton Peak, with the Cooper Valley at its centrepiece. Here the highest biodiversity and concentration of ancient, rare, primitive and endemic species, impress visitors with exceptional richness, amid magnificent fan palm galleries and rainforest giants…
Daintree Rainforest demonstrates that cost effective conservation and carbon neutral operation on the land, can be fully-funded by sustainable eco-tourism at no cost to the public purse.

Dept. Nav is tricky and Spinning Top pic did not load after searching for fungi.
Cheers

Thanks Neil, good stuff. Had a glowing report of your place by a doctor friend a couple of days ago.

Wet Blanket Larry’s report. I could not access the picture galleries from the home page. Using the links in the article, I could access thumbnails of the pictures. But when I clicked on these, I got a jumbled mess.
More details: older iMac, System 10 point something, Firefox browser. I use a Jurassic era dial-up modem. And my computer skills are not the greatest.
My overall impression is that the Daintree website is either not ready for prime time, or is not designed for computers having my configuration.
