Before leaving Melbourne, I was advised I HAD to go on Bruce's Crocodile tour up the Daintree (mind you, it was a cousin of his who told me about it!) The heavens opened about an hour before we got on the boat, but as soon as we placed our arses on the seat, the rain stopped, the sun came out, and we had the most fantastic tour of the exquisite river, with a great display of crocs, kingfishers, tree snakes, and herons displaying their frog catching abilities, with Bruce's son (forgive me for forgetting his name) as an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. He had eyes like a hawk, able to see the tiniest birds from 50 metres, while we struggled to see them from about 5 metres :-( I would highly recommend this trip for ANY age group. Oh, and Shazza at the shop was brilliant with a great selection of souvenirs at very reasonable prices!!! We will be back ;-)
