Just spent the day in Cape Tribulation which is couple of hours north of Cairns. It was a really good trip with a rainforest walk and a crocodile boat trip.... AND I saw two crocodiles, one big and one small. First contact was good and ofcourse I got them both on film ;) We had a biologist as a guid and he was excellent, telling us alot about the australian rainforests. They are beleaved to be the oldest rainforests in the world, so when all the other froze more or less in the iceage these ones remained unfrozen. Ancient species can be found there making the forests a living musem.
I have to tell you about cassowaries which are endangered large flightless birds found here in the area. The female is dominant and they surely know how to live life ;) Females go between males, mate and lay eggs with them, then they leave the eggs with the mails which sit on them for weeks without moving and eating. Big sacrifices the male make and they take care of the chicks untill they are big enough to survive on theire own while the female just enjoys life. Very independent females, just let the men take care of the kids ;) So you guys should be thankful that you are not cassowaries... Amazing birds.
Be prepaired for more photos very soon...
