A few more pics from Cairns and the rainforest

Here are some more shots from Saturday, 7/6/2013, trip to the rainforest, etc...

In the Daintree Rainforest.

Brilliant blue butterfly... they are plentiful in the summer.  This is wintertime in Australia.

Cheryl (Becky T's sister), daughter Becky (Bek), and husband Bob overlooking Daintree River and coastland.

From the little ferry crossing the Daintree River... had to stay in the car!

Rainforest in Mossman Gorge.

Mossman Gorge - another basket fern... they were everywhere!

The Mossman Gorge river.

Yes, I was here.

The roots of the trees often look like this because during the rainy season the soil will become so soaked with water that the trees will then draw oxygen from the air through these flange-like above-ground roots to survive.
