Re The 7 wonders of Australia

On a trip from Cooktown across to the Daintree recently . We had left the van in Atherton and went sight seeing in the 4x4 using Atherton as a base.
We arrived at the lions den on a Saturday afternoon. The atmosphere was great in the pub and I had a beer and another and another and so on. It was too hard to pull myself away from the place and soon I was as legless as all the other patrons but the party still kept going I think it was about 1am sunday before we all started to look for a rock to crawl under to sleep , The funny thing was that I had never met any of the 20 or so people before and will probally never see them again . But all will remember our night at the Lions den

The Daintree is definitely one of the best spots on the planet. I grew up in Mossman just a stones throw to the south and have been back many times since. The only thing that amazes me is the expansion of human occupation from the south arm of the river through to Cape Trip through to the Upper Daintree......but still a top spot nonetheless.

The Daintree is truely superb, but see it now while you can. As Patrol 22 says, human expansion up there is incredible. And as the south gets dryer, there will be even more population pressure moving north.

Tell us about Running Waters mate

That's ummm, "overseas"..................

Yes, I'd put Cradle Mtn - Lake St Clair NP on my list. (And there are others you could argue for, like the Tarkine.)
