Probably not. But that number is 15, from the Annan which finds the sea a stone\u2019s throw from Cooktown to the Burdekin that ends between Townsville and Bowen.<\/p>\r\n<p>And, most remarkably, of all the waterways winding through the Wet Tropics of Queensland it\u2019s only the Mitchell River that runs west to feed into the Gulf of Carpentaria with all the others meandering east to find the Coral Sea.<\/p>\r\n<p>We\u2019ve put together some Daintree Rainforest facts to help give you a better picture of the landscape Sir David Attenborough described as being \u201cquite unlike any other rainforest in the world\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>\u00a01. So how old is the Daintree Rainforest?<\/h2>\r\n<p>Amazingly, the Daintree is the world\u2019s oldest continually surviving rainforest and, at around 180 million years of age, it\u2019s 10 million years older than the Amazon with the consistent rainfall and humid conditions credited with keeping it thriving across the millennia.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>2. A key fact about Daintree Rainforest to know before visiting is who looks after it?<\/h2>\r\n<p>The Daintree National Park, made up of the Mossman Gorge and Cape Tribulation precincts, was proclaimed in 1981 with the Wet Tropics of Queensland added to the UNESCO list in 1988. It satisfied all four of the natural wonder criteria and gained a place because the \u201cbiotope offers a particularly extensive array of plants, as well as marsupials and songbirds, along with other rare and endangered animal and plant species\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-875708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/daintree-river-blog-image-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/daintree-river-blog-image-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/daintree-river-blog-image-1-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/daintree-river-blog-image-1.jpg 1256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h2>3. WHAT\u2019S THE NUMBER OF DAINTREE RAINFOREST ANIMALS?<\/h2>\r\n<p>The animals of the Daintree Rainforest are just incredible. An impressive 65 per cent of Australia\u2019s bat and butterfly species, as well as 35 per cent of the continent\u2019s marsupial and reptile species, call the Daintree home. Sadly, 47 of the animals of the Daintree Rainforest are listed as threatened including the southern cassowary and mahogany glider.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-875709\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/noah-beach-blog-image-2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/noah-beach-blog-image-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/noah-beach-blog-image-2-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/noah-beach-blog-image-2.jpg 1256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h2>4. HOW WET IS THE WET TROPICS?<\/h2>\r\n<p>A critical component of any rainforest is rain and while an average of 2000mm of precipitation falls on the Daintree every year \u2013 with 60 per cent seen during wet season. Between December and March, the Daintree Rainforests climate can see as much as 9000mm of rain.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>5. HOW BIG IS THE DAINTREE RAINFOREST?<\/h2>\r\n<p>The Mossman Gorge section covers 56,500ha of mostly inaccessible rainforests and mountain woodlands, while the Cape Tribulation precinct takes in 17,000ha of Australia\u2019s most extensive stretch of lowland rainforest. The Wet Tropics of Queensland stretches 450km across the Sunshine State\u2019s coast from 100km north of Cape Trib to the Paluma Range above Townsville.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>6. IS THE DAINTREE THE ONLY RAINFOREST NATIONAL PARK?<\/h2>\r\n<p>The Wet Tropics of Queensland, which is wrapped in a 3000km perimeter, is home to 30 national parks and, since the UNESCO listing 34 years ago, that national park territory has increased from 13 per cent to 85 per cent.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-875710\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/daintree-river-blog-image-3-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/daintree-river-blog-image-3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/daintree-river-blog-image-3-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/daintree-river-blog-image-3.jpg 1256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h2>7. HOW HIGH IS THE WET TROPICS OF QUEENSLAND?<\/h2>\r\n<p>The state\u2019s tallest mountain Bartle Frere, which flanks the Bruce Highway between Cairns and Innisfail and climbs to 1622m, is the highest spot inside the Wet Tropics of Queensland. Its neighbour Bellenden Ker adds to the UNESCO zone\u2019s height with a 1593m summit and the peaks mark the Josephine Falls section of the Wooroonooran National Park.<\/p>\r\n<p>Bonus Daintree Rainforest Fact: its peak of 1622m makes Bartle Frere the 4th highest mountain in Australia!<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>8. DO MANY INDIGENOUS TRIBES CALL THIS COUNTRY HOME?<\/h2>\r\n<p>Far North Queensland\u2019s rainforests is country to 20 Aboriginal tribes, 120 clans and eight language groups. Today more than 20,000 people hold an ongoing traditional link to the land and native title accounts for 90 per cent of the ground inside the World Heritage zone.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>9. ARE THERE PLACES TO SWIM IN THE WET TROPICS?<\/h2>\r\n<p>Far North Queenslanders love nothing more than soaking in freshwater during a steamy wet season day and there are streams, lakes and waterfalls dotted around the Wet Tropics that become prime swimming spots when the Daintree Rainforest&#8217;s climate is warm. Josephine Falls, Lake Eacham, Mossman Gorge, Malanda Falls and the Alligator\u2019s Nest are all loved by locals.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-875711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/discovery-centre-blog-image-4-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/discovery-centre-blog-image-4-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/discovery-centre-blog-image-4-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.aatkings.com\/storybook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/discovery-centre-blog-image-4.jpg 1256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h2>10.
