23.01.2022 When did you last spoil yourself with a timeout? ...

23.01.2022 While spiders may be scary to many, they are also pretty interesting animals: Spiders are found on every continent except Antarctica. All spiders produce silk, but not all spiders spin webs.... Despite having so many eyes, many spider species have poor eyesight. They make up for it with the tiny hairs that line their eight legs. The hairs are able to detect scents, helping spiders find food and potential mates. A spiders leg hair is also designed to sense vibrations, such as when prey lands on their web. This is one reason why they dont like areas with a lot of action or noise.

17.01.2022 Be sure to turn your televisions on at approximately 6.08am tomorrow morning and tune into Channel 9 for the Today Show weather forecast.

17.01.2022 Now if this isn't the perfect start to the day, than what is? A cassowary on the way to work at the Discovery Centre...Happy Hump Day #discoverthedaintree #cassowary #daintreerainforest #daintreediscoverycentre #exploretnq

17.01.2022 Wild living crocodiles are one thing you will very likely get to see when you make it to this beautiful part of Far North Queensland. While they mostly seem to be sunbathing peacefully, they are still predators and do hunt so make sure to keep your distance ...

15.01.2022 And suddenly a Cassowary could cross your jungle path. The cassowary tends to be quite territorial and will defend their local patch if threatened. However, they avoid confrontation wherever possible and generally announce their presence by making a deep rumbling sound....

15.01.2022 The spectacular Daintree region begins with the Wet Tropics rainforest of Mossman Gorge in the World Heritage listed Daintree National Park, an hour's drive north of Cairns, reaches north through farmlands and beautiful valleys towards Daintree Village then across the Daintree River to the ancient rainforests of the Cape Tribulation section of Daintree National Park. One of the few places in the world where the rainforest meets the reef. The region is bounded ...to the west by the stunning rainforested hills of the MacDonnell Range - to the east the coast is fringed by pristine uninhabited beaches on the edge of the Coral Sea, home of the World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef.

14.01.2022 We are pretty excited to announce that the Daintree Discovery Centre is OPEN and operating as normal following a period of closure due to COVID-19. While our doors have been shut, we have been very busy making improvements to the Centre. Why not come and check out our wonderful new interactive interpretive signage along the Aerial Walkway, Canopy Tower and Jurassic Forest?

14.01.2022 If you're keen to get a literal birds eye view of the Daintree Rainforest you should probably put the Canopy Tower at the Daintree Discovery Centre on your "to do" list. Did you know locals pay discounted entry and get free entry for the next 12 months with a further 10% discount for all their guests? How's that for awesome! There's enough stuff here to go back several times and discover something new every time.

11.01.2022 A very special moment shared with a cassowary chick. Cassowaries have a good spatial memory of their territory and the male (who provides all parental care) will lead the chicks around to various sources of water and fruiting trees within his territory. When the chicks become independent they know where to find what they need until they leave (or are chased out) to find territories of their own....
