> Daintree Tropical Rain Forest Queensland
> The virgin rainforests here are amongst the most ancient ecosystems on earth. Some trees are more than 2,500 years old.
>
> Towering fan palms stretch towards the sunlight filtering through the rainforest canopy, while the brilliance of the coloured flowers enliven the surrounds.
>
> Some species of plants have survived here since the days of the dinosaurs. The mossy trunks of the ancient trees hold a canopy of dense green aloft. Dappled sunlight filters through to the ferns, cycads and vines. Birds, animals and reptiles continue to live as they had for eons.

> WOW! I want to see an ancient tree with a mossy trunk!!! Just the thought makes me dizzy! I would commune with nature and never ever leave.
