This is Cape Tribulation, so named by "Captain Cook" on his second voyage. He almost lost his ship here after grounding on the reef, now known as Endeavor Reef. The ship did not sink only because a large piece of coral lodged itself in the hole in the ship's bottom. We explored the beach and the cape while there without experiencing anything like the troubles that gave the cape its name, though we did have to hide from a passing shower.

Another photo from the Mossman Gorge area of the Daintree Rainforest. I have no idea which mushrooms these are.

This was taken at Mossman Gorge in Daintree National Park. This was our first glimpse of the rainforest though we would see much more of in our travels.

This is one of the buttress roots of a rain forest tree in Mossman Gorge in the Daintree Rainforest of northern Queensland.

I have no idea what plant this is but the leaves caught my attention as we wandered through the rainforest at Mossman Gorge. The older leaves were green, like everything else but the new leaves were this striking white.

It was a rainy day in the rainforest when this was taken. We were visiting Mossman Gorge in the Daintree Rainforest and hiking the trails there. This is Rex Creek, one of the creeks that flow into the Mossman River

After meeting up with other family members in Port Douglas, we spent part of Monday, June 13th, exploring the Mossman Gorge area of the Daintree Rainforest. We hiked the trails there and though it was a wet and overcast day had a wonderful time together. These unidentified fungi were photographed near Rex Creek in the Mossman Gorge.

This little bird was photographed in the Cape Tribulation area of the Daintree Rainforest in Queensland. He is perched on a plant of Crepe Ginger and was also feeding from the flowers. We were in the Cape Tribulation area all day yesterday and though the weather was not great, had a wonderful time. As with every day here we saw a lot of plants and creatures we could not identify and I had to find out what bird this was before I could post the photo.

This is the Mossman River which runs through Mossman Gorge in the Daintree Rainforest in Daintree National Park in northern Queensland. We hiked the trails in Mossman Gorge yesterday, an overcast and sometimes rainy day. The rainforest was spectacular and the hike superb even for those of our group who are less than avid hikers. Today we saw our first crocodiles and visited a sugarcane and cocoa plantation. So we've had a busy but wonderful trip thus far and have enjoyed the food and wine as well, though the beer is so-so.
