At the Daintree there used to be cedar trrees but they had all been cut down by the 1880s. Then gold was discovered and roads were built through the rainforest. Later on, farmers arrived and grew bananas, watermelons and pineapples. But there are still parts of the rainforest left to visit and enjoy. In the rivers you can se [|archer fish]. They can jump 30cm out of the water to catch insects. They spit drops of water out of their mouths to catch their prey. In the trees you can see many [|beautiful Australilan parrots and cockatoos] that live nowhere else in the world. You may be very lucky and see a [|cassowary], a large flightless bird that is 1.5m tall.
