+The size of the beautiful old trees is immense, taking six of us with arms outsretched to give one of them a good hug. Orchids, ferns, vines, fungi, moss of seemingly endless variety grow over almost all the large and small trees creating the most beautiful scene. Palms, cordyline, ground orchids, mossy logs and rocks, and the deep soft forest floor litter complete the under-storey atmosphere.
-mossy logs and rocks, and the deep soft forest floor litter complete the under- storey atmosphere,
-Some of the local wild life appeared in the form of two very large carpet snakes, two rather large red-bellied black, two very handsome large lizards, a snail with a home as large; us a fist, lots of beautiful birds, and a few small animals heard but not seen. I know we have ensured the surliival of the local leeches by giving hundreds of them a good feed so they can go forth and multiply, though they did seem to be suffering from overcrowding already. A few ticks gave us something to scratch about as well.

 The weather was really good for walking, as well as reminding us every now and then that we were in a rainforest called Washpool - but we also had lovely days with the sun filtering down through the 50 metre high canopy.
