Chapter XIII / Daintree National Park

I flew from Hong Kong to Cairns via Brisbane in order to meet up with two of my closest friends from college for a week in far North Queensland. 

I hadn't seen them for six months and nearly four years respectively, and it was superb to spot them in the arrivals hall at Cairns airport. We had each hoped to surprise each other from behind in the terminal, and after sending a decoy email directing them to baggage carousel two, I loitered in a cafe until I spotted them, at which point I crouched behind a variety of weary travelling parents and got about half a second of surprise before leaping on Tom and Tom.

En route I had enjoyed what tuned out to be the best view of the Great Barrier Reef:


We headed north in our rental car towards the World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest and the start of our weeklong adventure.
