On
the southern side of the tongue of Cape Tribulation lies Mayall beach
where two World Heritage Sites meet each other. One is the Great
Barrier Reef, which closely follows from here the coastline northwards
up to the top of the Cape York Peninsula. The other World Heritage Site
is the wet tropics vegetation of the Daintree Rainforest, which is
estimated with its age of 135 million years to be one of the oldest
rainforests in the world. It is the place where the reef kisses the
rainforest. |
