Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. People are drawn to the area for its ancient vegetation, scenic surroundings and the vast array of native wildlife and plant matter that inhabit the area. Currently there is no bridge to enable crossing the river, so access is limited to the Daintree River Ferry, a commercial ferry that transverses the river for the purpose of tourism. Other features that surround the river include Black Mountain, Daintree Range, Thornton Peak and the Cape Tribulation Rainforest. The Daintree River is home to a dazzling array of tropical life. It supports saltwater and freshwater marine life, including the saltwater crocodile. The mouth of the Daintree River opens onto a giant sandbar that shifts with each changing tide. The river winds through thick mangrove swamps where the water remains very salty. As it progresses through the rainforest, the water turns fresh. At this convergence point, an abundance of wildlife congregate, particularly fish.
