Daintree Dreaming
Travel along one of Australia's most scenic coastal drives as we travel north of Port Douglas, to Cooya Beach. Walk on ancient ancestral trails with one of the Kurribi Warra brothers of Kuku Yalanji Cultural Habitat Tours on a traditional mangrove and beach combing journey.
During this unique, fun tour you will learn first hand how to throw a spear, track coastal resources through the mangroves and search and hunt for fish, mud crabs and mussels. Learn about bush tucker and bush medicines. Nothing is wasted. Enjoy morning tea on the balcony of their family home, overlooking the ocean, of fresh homemade damper, tea/coffee and taste what you have caught and collected throughout your morning. The Walker brothers demonstrate different Aboriginal artifacts and their uses. Maybe learn how to play a didgeridoo!
We continue north to the township of Mossman and Janbal Gallery, which is more than just an art gallery - it is a truly unique Aboriginal experience. Meet Binna, a proud Kuku Yalanji man and your tutor. Share in an authentic Aboriginal art experience and take home a memento of your experience. Authentic Aboriginal arts and craft that depicts the reef and rainforest culture of the local Kuku Yalanji people are on display.
Lunch along the way, as we travel further north past the Daintree Village and the Niau falls, a pristine natural wonder waiting for you to discover in the heart of the World Heritage Listed Daintree National Park. You will see strange, primitive plants and learn about the original French settler family. Hear of their incredible story of survival. Your guided rainforest walk will unlock the secrets of this fascinating eco-system. Time for a swim in this magical rainforest environment, (don't forget your swimmers). Your amazing day of discovery comes to a close as you are returned to your accommodation.
