Daintree Discovery Centre
Get walking at the Daintree Discovery Centre, which has several rainforest walks lined with interpretive panels.

There’s an aerial walkway that traverses the forest floor to a 23m viewing tower. The small theatre runs films such as Australia’s Deadliest Animals. Jindalba Boardwalk is less than 1km down the road, and has picnic tables, a 700m walk and a longer 2.7km version.

It requires imagination, a guided tour (and a packed lunch!), but is nonetheless a humbling travel experience. Contact the Waltzing Matilda Centre at Winton to book tours.
