The Daintree Lowland Rainforest is one of the oldest rainforests on Earth and provides a refuge for wildlife and ancient flowering plants. It holds exceptionally high biodiversity and conservation value and is the largest continuous area of tropical rainforest remaining in Australia.

The Daintree Lowland Rainforest has remained undisturbed by fires for 120 million years.

The Daintree Lowland Rainforest is one of the wettest places in Australia. Rainfall in the first ten days of January is 347 mm.

In the 1980’s the Queensland government approved an 1,100-lot rural residential subdivision in the Daintree. This resulted in two-thirds of the Daintree Lowland Rainforest being excluded from protection in the Daintree National Park and Wet Tropics World Heritage Area that was declared in 1988. Purchase of these properties and adding them to the Daintree National Park provides a fantastic outcome for wildlife conservation.

Each $25 raised will purchase and protect ten sqm of the Lowland Daintree Rainforest. Please, make a donation now to help purchase and protect Lot 124 Quandong Road.
