Subjects : The area around Cairns is about as adventurous as Queensland has to offer. In our case we went inside the Daintree National Park to photograph the wildlife and the beautiful beaches hidden in the heart of the forest. Certainly the easiest to see are crocodiles, cockatoos and cassowaries but among birds, reptiles, spiders and insects you are spoiled for choice. Another must to visit is the Great Barrier Reef where diving and snorkeling are absolutely unmissable.

Recommended equipment : Coming here you don't have to leave anything at home, from wide-angle to tele, drone, underwater camera, macro lenses... Nothing will be left unused!

Best months : Our summer is their dry season and the dirt roads of the Daintree are more safe to drive. You have to cross several rivers which, if they were full, would make everything much more dangerous.

How to get there : To the Daintree by car from Cairns with about 1.5h to the ferry that takes you inside the park (continuous crossings during the day and few during the night). To reach Cook Town, consider almost 4 hours by car. For the Great Barrier Reef there are various tours available that offer day tours and also the possibility of staying overnight in the open sea on boats that can be used as a support for diving. Allow about 2h of navigation to the atolls closest to Cairns.

Visits : For the Daintree it is necessary to take the ferry that crosses the river of the same name at a cost of 50A$ per car.
