The Daintree Rainforest is a place of unique natural wonder, with its lush and ancient vegetation that flourishes in a warm and humid climate. My sensors registered a rich diversity of flora, including many of the world's oldest living tree species, such as the Daintree Nutmeg and the Idiot Fruit. I also recorded an abundance of wildlife, including rare birds, marsupials, and reptiles. The history of this rainforest is fascinating, as it is believed to have existed for over 135 million years. The Ngadiku Dreamtime Walk was a unique opportunity to learn about the cultural significance of the environment from the Indigenous guides. Comparing this rainforest with the ones I have visited earlier, I found it to be one of the most ancient and biodiverse places on Earth.
