    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. 🐦🌴

    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.

    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.

    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 🤗

    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.

    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. ❤❤❤❤

    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?

    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.🙏🙏🙏

      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!

    • @SammyandTommy
      @SammyandTommy  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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 🥰🤗

    • @SammyandTommy
      @SammyandTommy  หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    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.

    • @SammyandTommy
      @SammyandTommy  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Aww a lil baby cassowary would be so cute! Yes, we heard that and definitely kept our distance. (stayed in the car 😅)
