Daintree Rainforest Discovery Centre
The Wet Tropics of Queensland is the oldest tropical rainforest
still surviving on Earth and a World Heritage listed site
containing the highest number of rare or threatened plant and
animal species on the planet, as well as 13 different trypes of
rainforest and 29 species of mangrove. Among the national parks
included in the Wet Tropics are Barron Gorge National Park, Black
Mountain National Park, Cedar Bay National Park, Daintree National
Park, Girringun National Park and Wooroonooran National Park.
This unique area covers around 1,200 km of northern Queensland,
and is visited by thousands of tourists who access it usually from
Cairns, via Daintree Village. Visitors enjoy an unrivalled natural
experience, from the beautiful golden beaches to hiking through
ancient forest ecosystems full of gorgeous birds, primitive
flowering plants, and fascinating animals like the estuarine
crocodile.

bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
Opening Times
The Environmental Centre is open daily, from 8:30am
