Buorke’s Luck Potholes

Blyde River Canyon

South Africa

Part of Queensland’s

Daintree Rain Forest which is the oldest

surviving rain forest in the world.

The Daintree is home to the

highest concentration of

primitive plant life globally,

with 12 of the 19 primitive flowering

plant families calling The Daintree home.

This includes Australia’s most impressive

botanical find, the idiot fruit.

Discovered in 1970, the idiot fruit

(or Idiospermum Australiense),

is one of the world’s rarest

and most primitive of all

flowering plants.

 

Much closer to home is the

Otway Cool Temperate Rainforest

The Otway forests have been logged

for over 150 years, however since 1961

logging has decreased.

The Great Otway National Park was

declared in 2004 when four National Parks

and several Cown Land reserves in the area

were amalgamated.
