The Mouth of the Daintree River

Mamiya 6MF, Ektachrome PRZ2048, digitised by photographing the original 60mm transparency on a light pad; tethered capture and development in Lightroom.

 

The view is roughly southwards, along the coast towards Cairns. The town which may be discerned to the right is Port Douglas.

 

"The Wet Tropics of Queensland was given UNESCO World Heritage listing, inclusive of the Daintree River in recognition of "its outstanding natural universal value as an outstanding example representing the major stages of Earth's evolutionary history, significant ongoing ecological and biological processes, superlative natural phenomena and as containing important and significant habitats for in situ conservation of biological diversity. The river is part of the much larger Daintree Rainforest, region in Northern Queensland encompassing 894,000 hectares" (Wikipedia)
