The Daintree Rainforest in Queensland, Australia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s been thriving for over 180 million years. In this video, we spent 48 hours exploring its ancient beauty-crossing scenic rivers, trekking through lush trails, and keeping an eye out for its most famous residents, the elusive wild cassowaries. 🐦🌴

Very brave of you!
So good to see you do a tour with Solar Whisper - David is so incredibly knowledgeable on all things along the Daintree plus his 4 legged companion Doug is great to have a long for the journey too!
With Tommy’s parents again! I love seeing you together. Bet I’m not the only one. However, you are among the select few who do that. 👏❤️ Adding Tommy’s exquisite shots to all of your other qualities, you are truly the best, and I’m happy to see your channel growing.
This comment is so sweet, thank you so much! We are happy they put up with us and want to travel with us 🤗
Thank you, this was wonderful ❤ The seeds the Cassowary was eating, only regenerates after being eaten by them. That's how important they are. your find was amazing.
🙂 Australia has a unique nature and wildlife... one of the Best in the World 🤩 We Love Australia
After over 25 years living in Queensland, I still haven't seen a Cassowary in the wild !!
Thanks guys.
No way?! That makes us feel very lucky, it felt like everyone we had talked to had seen one that day. Very lucky to spot one in the end 🤗
Fabulous nature immersion, great shots, and such great family vibes!
🥰🥰
Great one. It is a stunning landscape, intersection of mountains, rainforrest and coastal. The cold beer in that o/n place looked the goods. Cheers!
🤗🤗
Wonderful video. This made me want to add Cairns and Daintree to my bucket list.
How special to finish the video with a cassowary. 😮
So many great personal memories in this video. There is nothing I’ve ever tasted, ( other than genuine Italian gelato), that comes close to this ice cream. Absolutely amazing flavour combinations there.
We really had such a great time together and that ice cream was soo good, worth all of the hype it gets!
@ I’m glad. You and your folks really all look so relaxed - lovely videos. Thx for sharing.
OMG well done ! A cassowary in the wild! Amazing - props to you all - lived here all of my long life and never achieved that. Loving your vids and that you don’t mind a cold one (🍺🍺🍺🍺) now and again, again and again. Honorary Ozzies now. ❤❤❤❤
We were starting to think we wouldn't be able to spot one, very lucky at the end there! 🍻🤗
OMG, we stayed at PK’s jungle village more than 30 years ago, when it was full of partying European backpackers. So loud, there was no sleeping at night and we fled after one night. It looks much nicer now. We fled to Crocodylus, which is a collection of buildings in the rainforest. You can stay in a hut right in the rainforest. Have a look at their website. There are cassowaries walking the paths there. Maybe a stay there next time?
An excellent video! What a lovely family!
Aw thanks, we are so lucky to be able to have time to travel together!
I feel so happy watching you guys have fun
🥰🥰
Great watching you guys travelling through our state. Soo lucky seeing the Cassowaries, we've been to the Daintree multiple times and don't even see any 😊 Love you channel.
Love your videos.What a lovely family you are.Australia is an amazing country.I'm so blessed to live here.Enjoy your travels
This really was such a sweet video. My partner and I travelled a similar route nearly two decades ago. We spent more time up there, but almost every beautiful thing was damned (for me, at least) for me because of an anti-Malarial drug I took for work in Malaria-infected areas that, basically, fried your brain. This was really nice watching people loving the place they were in without being haunted by chemical demons that would chase them for the rest of their lives. Thanks.🙏🙏🙏
Enjoy watching. Great video!
Beautiful video thank you!
Thanks for watching! 😊
You should really explore Tasmania…it’s stunning and a whole lot more affordable. It’s Australia’s best kept secret. Have fun & best wishes from Melbourne😬
Great video, stunning photography & a cassowary too! Love you guys! 😊
Always amazing videos!
Waw. Another great adventure and vlog.
if you still have travels in New Zealand ahead, try to take in the Abel Tasman National Park. similar vibe... minus anything that would want to eat you.
great content as always guys. keep it up!
We actually just went to Abel Tasman NP , epic. NZ has been incredible, can't wait to share the videos 🤗
Ahhh this was so good! My grandparents own a little farm in the Daintree, it was a common place i'd go as a kid. Very nostalgic video for me
Aww thank you, happy to bring back some memories!
Great road trip. Shout-out to your dad's expert driving too (on the other side of road)!
Great pictures and editing.
We’re glad you enjoyed it! 🤗
We are living around the corner!

It’s Paradise up here
That Video shows it all
Thanks
Another great video. Love you guys.
🥰🥰 Thank you!
Looks beautiful. That Cassowary swallowing was crazy. That’s funny you teased Tommy about pronunciation- I do the same to Amy. Lol
Hahah we have to poke fun where we can! The swallowing mushrooms whole was wild, so cool to see.
Hi Guys, we are watching your adventure since your amazing videos from Poland series.
Are you planning guys visit Gold Coast here in Queensland by any chance? If so we are family of 4 and happy to catch up with you here in Goldie.
Also highly recommended for you visit in our opinion even better than Cairns beautiful Whitsunday Islands with stunnung Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet which is must see! Airlie Beach is a stop more likely for younger generation travellers such as Backpackers and so on or Hamilton Island of course. Depends what you looking for in means where to stay😊
Beautiful videos guys and hopefully see you in the near future!
Hi, thank you so much for the recommendations and it would have been so fun to connect! We are a bit behind in our posting schedule and we didn't make it to the Gold Coast, we had to choose small areas to explore and hopefully we can make it back to see different areas. Thanks for following along 🥰🤗
Bravo my friends
😊☺️
love tommys parents 🎉
They're the best! 🤗🥰
Such beautiful photos and videos, thanks for the video! The Daintree it's in my bucket list. May I know what camera you use for capturing the plants, trees, animals etc? I want to start practicing before I go there
Great video. Wow I am so glad you found the big bird! What was it swallowing? It looked like a dinosaur.
So lucky, we saw it at the very end! It was eating some mushrooms, or I should say swallowing them whole 😅
Love the Daintree. Glad you didn't touch the wrong vegetation along your walks - some of it will make you very, very sorry if you touch it, such as the Gympie-Gympie stinging tree. Be careful out there.
cairns local Saw first in wild nr trib backing up while it came up to me for ten years no luck then last and this year so many chicks to early and late is the tip local one on the beach at etty called elvis .The drive south of cairns is awesome babinda boulders josophine falls art deco Innisfail etty bay hinchinbrook largest island national park in world .Also waterfall circuit tablelands well worth it but self drive aka cool times
VB Beer is the better beer from that selection. 🇦🇺
You would have driven past my favorite place...Palm Tree. BTW Mossman Information Centre has some great artwork for sale..
Seen a orphan cassowary chicks in the daintree. Got myself a selfie and some amazing photos with them. However, u must be aware of them because they are listed as the world dangerous birds in the world. Also, I would recommend to see some tree kangaroos. They are like the Australian monkey, but not a monkey.
Aww a lil baby cassowary would be so cute! Yes, we heard that and definitely kept our distance. (stayed in the car 😅)
Did you spot any Raptors
This is such a sweet comment, thank you so much! We are happy they put up with us and want to travel with us 🤗🥰
Bali indonesia
Go to Lombok instead
Sorry about the Cassowary...unfortunately we have Karens too.....😫
Ferry ride should be free
I like forests in Southern California!
Just don't want to see a cassowary mum who's protecting her bubs.... She gets a tad angry...
Glad you are enjoying your journey up north.
However, please do not touch your phone while driving. Not only is it dangerous, it carries a very large fine in this country.
Enjoy watching. Great video!
