A VISIT TO THE RAIN FOREST – GOLD COAST

Our visit to Sky Walk and the Tamborine Rainforest was an unexpected delight! None of us believed there was actually a rainforest in the area based on the surrounding fauna and trees we saw driving up the mountainside but indeed, there it was. Keith, our guide, taught us about the different trees, their uses, the wildlife within the area and of course the insect – lots and lots of insects.


Our visit made for a nice calm walk and great photo ops!

When her husband's son, from a lesser wife, was to take reign at a young age, Hatshepsut stepped into the spot, controlling the affairs of the state until he came of age.
