While in the rainforest we also saw a lot of these hanging in the trees; they're green ant's nests, According to our guide the green ant babies have the ability to produce a sort of glue, and as such the adults use them as sort of "glue gun" to glue the leaves together to form the nests.



The final part of our tour was spent at Mossman Gorge where people often go to swim because of the clear waters. The water level was quite low as you can see from the exposed rocks.



And of course there was the obligatory danger sign near the gorge for all swimmers and passers by. Craig and I thought the pictures on the left were particularly amusingly drawn.



As the sun set behind the green green mountains we made the long drive back down the winding road with the ocean on our left and soaring cliffs and mountains to our right. Posted by Picasa
