This was the rainforest at Jindalba where we walked the prepared paths in a gentle rain. Jindalba is just south of Cape Tribulation and is part of the much larger Daintree Rainforest.

This is a Cassowary Plum, a favorite food of the Cassowary, the large flightless bird of Queensland. We photographed these while following the trails at the Jindalba Rainforest Walk. There were a lot of the fruits, some of them partially eaten, though whether by Cassowaries we could not tell. We did see a Cassowary, but not here. These fruits are toxic to humans but the Cassowaries are immune to the toxins. In fact, the digestive system of the Cassowary does something to the fruits that helps them germinate.
