This area is known for its abundance of sugar cane. This was our view on our way to see the crocodiles. Apparently on 9/11, Bill and Hilary Clinton were staying in Port Douglas. They had private helicopters come get them and fly them back to the states.
On our way to the crocodile cruise we stopped at a place for tea and coffee. The woman told us not to go down by the river, so of course Ally wanted to venture down.
Daintree River: Where all the crocs live
Baby croc swimming near the boat. He had wandered away from his mother and was out to make a life for his own.
Here is a big guy over 10 feet in length! Patrolling the banks.
This parrot looks fake, I'll admit it. But I tell you the truth, this is a real parrot, a young girl showing off her beautiful colors to the patrons of the zoo.
After the croc cruise we ate lunch with some birds at this nature habitat zoo thingy.
Ally got to see her Koalas eating their gum trees. I wasn't able to find her one in the wild (sad face) so I got her the next closest thing.
They had some really friendly parrots. They were so tame, this guy hopped on my arm without a moment's hesitation. He was a yellow-tailed cockatoo
Ally got to feed some kangaroos. Well this is actually a red bush wallaby but the place we went also had around 10 different species of kangaroo and wallaby. It was a giant petting zoo, if you blow up this picture you can see the wallaby grabbing ally's hand. He was probably saying "you're not sharing this food with any other wallaby!"
This was perhaps the cutest scene of the day. A tiny wallaby with her tiny wallaby joey. I think we scared him as he went inside the pouch. It was a good day at Port Douglas!
