Description
A walkway through the Daintree Rainforest in north Queensland, Australia.
The Daintree Rainforest is a tropical rainforest on the north east coast of Queensland, Australia, north of Mossman and Cairns. At around 2,600 km2 (1,000 sq mi), the Daintree is the largest continuous area of tropical rainforest on the Australian continent. Along the coastline north of the Daintree River, tropical rainforest grows right down to the edge of the sea.
The Daintree Rainforest contains 30% of the frog, reptile and marsupial species in Australia, and 65% of Australia's bat and butterfly species. 18% of bird species in the country can be found in this area. There are also over 12,000 species of insects. All of this diversity is contained within an area that takes up 0.1% of the landmass of Australia. Part of the forest is protected by the Daintree National Park and drained by the Daintree River. The roads north of the river wind through areas of lush forest, and have been designed to minimize impacts on this ancient ecosystem.

Wow, Bob and Nancy, love this beautifully inviting walkway and gorgeous tropical rainforest splendor. Only one I had a chance to see was in Hawaii, and that was, believe or not, during a drought. Waterfalls looked like a leaking faucet, and the lushness was almost nil, thus this is gorgeous, and we have several of our members of our group from this Great continent of Australia, and I enjoy seeing their takes of their faves. This one is truly a fave for me, as I love the walkway through the "jungle" look of the foliage. Very inviting and exudes beauty, down the path! fave and vote

Bob and Nancy, Fantastic nature photo, love the remarkable details of the trees and bushes as you wind around the wooden deck. This photo has such tremendous clarity to it, it makes you feel like you are right out there in the openness walking along with the rainforest on each side of you. Great details in both the foreground and background, plus a very interesting story line in the description box to go along with the photo. Exceelent photo, voted, google, tweet, and FB promoted along with me choosing this photo as my Pick of the Day 2 in the group, Lets All Participate
