The Jungle is great! We can hear lots of weird and funny animal and bird noises.
It has cooled off a bit and unfortunately started to rain so we the planned 9.30am Jungle walk has been delayed. Oh well ...
Back to the hammock!
When the rain cleared we put on our special 'Jungle boots' (Also known as Wellington boots in Britain and I think Gum boots in Oz?
ROWAN and JANI - What do you call Wellington boots in Oz?
We had a great walk, saw loads of weird and wonderful trees, plants, flowers, animals and insects ...
A butterfly
A rather large snail!
Parrotnose flower
Big lemons
Photographing ants
I had to take this photo as it was us all photographing ants, and we all liked taking photos! thourght it was funny, but maybe you had to be there.
The ants were cool ants! Not to be confused with ANts P2P. they were leafcutter ants. They were crossing our path. Was amazing to see the ants carrying a big leaf on their backs.
Watch my video of ants ... ?
Not ants in your pants!
Fungi
Rowan craking the Brazil Nut in one go!
Jubilation!
There are about 8 Brazil nuts in one big nut
I tried to break open the Brazil nut shell but did not manage to. Rowan did it in one go!
Cutting down sugar cane
We tried some sugarcane. Tasted nice!
Cotton
There was a tree called 'The Garlic Tree' (I think was its name) that was massive and was hollow. I had a quick look inside, while the other much braver members of our group actually stood up inside the tree. After one of them saw a spider above their head I was rather pleased I had not ventured in. Some strange things in the Jungle.
Termite nests
The pineapple family
I had forgotten what tree looks like but there was a large tree we saw called a 'Lupuna' that if you sleep under you get nightmares. Or did I make that up?
Was an amazing walk ... next stop lunch then fishing for Pirana´s!
