The lush mountain rainforest found in the wet-tropics bio-region of far northern Queensland, Australia, is home to Tree Climbing Kangaroo's, Southern Cassowary's and a seemingly infinite abundance of interconnected life-forms. This unique rainforest community is sustained by the high rainfall and humidity which allows streams like this one to flow continously througout the year.

When accompanied by the morning chorus of birds, one cannot help but feel gratitude for the protection and conservation of such ancient ecological communities.
