North Queensland Rainforests - Just north of the Barron Falls Rainforest is the World heritage listed Oaintree. It is the largest rainforest in Australia and is located in the north of Cairns from Port Douglas to Cape York.
The Daintree Rainforest and Barron Gorge National Park are tropical rainforest, that is - a rainforest where the temperature is above 30 degrees and rainfall is common all year round. The Daintree is protected under World Heritage listing covering approximately 5000 square miles. It is the remaining remnant of a time when the climate supported extensive rainforest across the entire Australian continent.
