Mossman River Daintree National Park … From the website: >>>> Type in 'Mossman' in the search function >>>> Go to the section on Mossman Gorge. What's special? Crystal-clear water cascading over smooth granite boulders in the Mossman River makes this picturesque section of Daintree National Park one of the most popular parks in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. This section stretches from the coastal lowlands to rugged mountains, providing a home for a wonderful variety of rainforest animals including tree-kangaroos and the tiny musky rat-kangaroo. Tall dense rainforests clothe the lowlands and slopes while open forest and woodlands grow on the exposed slopes and mountaintops. The Mossman Gorge Section is part of the traditional lands of the Kuku Yalanji people.
