Apparently it's wet season up here in Tropical North Queensland and we've had intermittent torrential downpours. Casey and I took a bus up to Cape Trib and stopped off at Mossman Gorge which is a beautiful river running through the heart of the Daintree Rainforest-- one of the only 20 something World Heritage Areas. It's also the oldest continuous rainforest in the world. At dusk, we went on a Night Walk through the rainforest which was kind of creepy. We saw a ton of spiders and other varied insects. Definitely an experience, though not really my thing. The picture is of a dead spider we found- the biggest one I've ever seen though.
