A RAIN FOREST IN THE RAIN IS SENSATIONAL. IT DOESN'T USUALLY RAIN IN THIS REGION AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR SO IT WAS A REAL TREAT TO BE HERE WITH THE FOREST LOOKING SO FRESH, JUST BEAUTIFUL. THE WET SEASON KNOWN AS "THE BIG WET" IN THE FAR NORTH TROPICS OF AUSTRALIA BEGINS AROUND THE END OF OCTOBER AND GOES THROUGH 'TILL MARCH.
WE STAYED OUT OF CARAVAN PARKS IN CAPE TRIB. AND WENT NATIVE IN THE NOAH NATIONAL PARK AREA......

A VIDEO OF OUR DRIVE IN THE RAIN FOREST WITH SANDY WHITE'S CD PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND
ONE OF THE MANY RIVERS
CAUGHT THIS LITTLE GREEN TREE FROG MAKING OUR EVENING EXTRA SPECIAL
THE FOREST WAS ABUZZ WITH A SYMPHONY OF INSECT AND FROG CALLING ALL NIGHT! THE BIRDS CHIMED IN AT DUSK AND DAWN. THIS IS A VIDEO OF A LITTLE GREEN TREE FROG
WITH HIS MATES IN THE BACKGROUND. I HAD NO PROBLEM
SLEEPING TO THIS "MUSIC", TONE ON THE OTHER HAND STUFFED HIS EARS WITH EAR PLUGS!
WALKING AROUND IN THE DARK WITH OUR HEADS ATTACHED TO OUR NIGHT ARMOUR, THE GOOD OLE LED HEADLIGHT, WE FOUND "TOAD, OF TOAD HALL", WITHOUT HIS CLOTHES!
THE FOREST IS COMPLETELY DARK ....PITCH BLACK IN FACT, AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE CANOPY. THIS WORKED TO OUR ADVANTAGE IN THE CAMP SITE. OUR AWNING WAS ANGLED TO CATCH THE RAIN AT ONE END WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A REALLY FUN, FROLICKING SHOWER!!!!
4 DAYS IN THE FOREST AND WE HAD NO LAUNDRY!!!!!

Really odd to be in the 'drivers seat' of a vehicle driving on the Aus-side of the road! :-)
Looks lovely!
I too kept thinking you were going to get hit head-on. Then I remembered that's the way it is over there. Love the forest. It is beautiful.
