Warm rains enhance the vibrant greens of the Wet Tropics, cassowaries emerge with their chicks, and waterholes offer an inviting place to cool off. It's the ideal time to slow down, enjoy nature and recharge by enjoying modern luxuries like secluded tree houses in the world's oldest rainforest.   Surround yourself in the World-Heritage rainforest at Mist at Cape Tribulation where modern meets authentic fresh air. This luxury boutique accommodation has large outdoor decks with expansive views, king size beds and pillow menus, lavish bathrooms with walk-in rain showers and special catering options. The newly renovated Lagoon Bayans at Daintree Ecolodge offer sustainable luxury in a breathtaking location. Rebalance your mind, body and soul at the Daintree Wellness Spa where treatments harness ancient traditions with wild-harvested, pure Australian botanicals. The area's Traditional Custodians, the Kuku Yalanji people, call the rainforest 'Wawu-karrba' which means 'healing of the spirit'. The lodge's private waterfall, which you can visit, has been used by generations of Kuku Yalanji women for healing and spiritual beliefs.  To learn more about the Kuku Yalanji people visit the Mossman Gorge Centre and catch the shuttle service to Mossman Gorge. Walk through the rainforest looking for electric blue Ulysses butterflies and Boyd's forest dragons and then plunge into the chilly waters of the gorge. The stories of the rainforest people are reflected in their art which can be seen at Janbal Gallery. Co-owner Brian 'Binna' Swindley shows you how to paint your own boomerang or canvas while sharing the stories of his mother, Janbal, whose works can be seen at the gallery bearing her traditional name.
