Itinerary
- Lake Barrine: River Cruise and lunch over looking the crater lake
- Curtain Fig National Park: This park protects the endangered Mabi forest, characterised by semi-deciduous canopy trees allowing ample light to reach the forest floor. Notably, it houses a unique fig tree with extensive aerial roots forming a striking "curtain" effect. Originating from a seed dropped high in the canopy, the strangler fig gradually strangled its host tree, leaving a freestanding fig tree estimated to be over 500 years old, nearly 50 meters tall, with a trunk circumference of 39 meters.
Blue Adventures Wildlife tours is actively planting trees with ReForest Australia to help restore the region to pre industrial logging days. - Granite Gorge Nature Park: During our private wildlife tours, we include a stop at Granite Gorge Nature Park, where you'll have the opportunity to observe the Mareeba rock-wallaby (Petrogale mareeba). This rare species of rock-wallaby is native to the Mareeba area and was officially recognized as a separate species in 1992. It's a chance to witness firsthand the unique biodiversity of the region.
