Mossman Gorge

Mossman Gorge in the Daintree rain forest is approximately a 15 minute drive north of Port Douglas. Cars can be parked near the Visitor Centre and then a shuttle bus takes visitors to the beginning of the walking trails through the rain forest.

Small fish can be seen swimming in the pools

and a variety of tropical vegetation is on show along the banks of the gorge.

Aboriginal guides provide conducted tours of the rain forest pointing out the different plants,

including those to avoid,

but also recounting the significance of the area to Aboriginal people.

This is a special part of Australia.
