Daintree Rainforest

Daintree Rainforest is a place I return to because it’s never exactly the same twice, even in the same month.

The trip in is less complicated than it looks on a map, provided you’re flexible about where you sleep.

On a strong day in the right season you can work your way through the lowland tropical rainforest and tick off most of the headliners before lunch.

My default advice is to go may through september (dry). Outside that window there are still good days here, but the baseline quality drops.

Bring a scope e one. More of this place is at middle distances than you’d think.

The best single image I’ve made at Daintree Rainforest was an accident I reached for without thinking; the ones I set up for are the ones I’ve half-forgotten.

Honest assessment: Daintree Rainforest is good but not magic. On a bad day you’ll still have a bad day here.
