Today, a dead kookaburra. 8 years or so with . . . → Read More: Off-topic mystery Hi Jason, We had great accommodation at Daintree Valley Haven which is run by a lovely couple who really care about the environment. There are comfortable cabins where you can cater for yourself or they can supply meals. Best is the fact that you are surrounded by lush rainforest, overlooking the river, with BBP Kingfishers . . . → Read More: Cairns/Daintree During my morning walk here at Brooms Head this morning, I had the good luck to watch a pair of Whipbirds dancing around in a dead fallen tree and the relatively cleared low bush.

Our idea is to cover the distance between Cairns and Cape Tribulation. I was hoping to solicit comments on our rough itinerary.

Consider taking a hinterland route via Mareeba and Julatten instead of the coast. There are lots of good birding places inland.

I will probably have the option of spending that day in either Kyoto or Osaka. Does anyone have any tips about which would be the better option?
