Australia

Daintree Nationalpark, well known from most of the Queensland documentaries and also home of the rare Cassowaries, birds not able to fly, but huge as an Emu. As they are rare, we were not too confident to find one, but to start with the great news, we managed to find […]

Sometimes you just can sit and wait that the rain passes by and the sun comes back. Today is for sure one of these days, hanging around at our camp and waiting that the rain stops. Still it is really a beautiful place here, in the middle of the forest, […]
