The Dino Way of Life


The Jurassic Park ambiance truly comes to life when you visit the Daintree Rainforest just up the road.  This is the oldest, largest and most diverse rainforest on the planet.  Dinosaurs roamed where I was strolling through a guided tour just a mere 120 million years ago.  
Round Palm - a favorite dino snack.

Lunch site, a fresh water creek that runs through Daintree

My peaceful rainforest tour took to a sharp tooth turn when we entered Croc Country.  These guys really did live on the set of Jurassic Park, and really do want to eat humans.  I was lucky enough to spot three crocodiles, but don’t worry I was safely aboard a boat.  These guys are truly terrifying, and a must see spectacle when coming to Australia.

Now as cliche as it is, lets all take a moment to reflect on Steve Iwrin’s life. All you’re thinking right now is how ridiculous it is that he died from a sting ray and not a crocodile - me too!  Seriously, what an upset.
