Summary: Went out to cassowary falls for the day. Picked up from our accomodation by the most lovely guide Stella. She was bright and bubbly and very knowledgeable giving us great commentary to our destination. Once there it was pretty much into the ATV’s for an adventurous trip of fruit tasting )watch out for the blue tongues), knowledge sharing and information bytes from the host and fast paced wet trekking g around the property which was just what you want with 2 teenage sons. We landed at the most beautiful waterfall and swam in the cool pristine waters with the turtles the perch. Once cool and relaxed we headed back off for a bite to eat before joining the crocodile cruise, where we got up close to viewing a couple of crocs. Great day had by all.
