Pops of pink amongst rainforest greens!

The Medinilla ball-headleyi found at Barron Falls/Dindin Station, putting on a stunning display of pinks and purples. This is a new sighting for us, as we usually find it at Red Peak /Guriguri Bunda. 🌸 A beautiful rainforest plant, it’s native to wet lowland rainforests from Tully to the northern Cape York Peninsula. It typically blooms during the warmer months, with its vibrant flowers and fruits lasting for several weeks. Rare yet special, this plant holds significance for us here at Skyrail, and is also featured as the logo of our .

Rangers Fun Fact Friday! 🤠

The Variegated Fig, Ficus variegata, grows in rainforests and on riverbanks with plenty
of moisture. It prefers well-drained soil and thrives in tropical climates with high humidity and warm temperatures... just like ours! It has a unique method of producing fruit. They develop on short stems in fig clusters emerging directly from the tree's branches and trunk. This is known as cauliflory, where the fruit grows from the main stem or older wood, rather than the newer growth.
The process of fruiting is typical for fig species, where the flowers are contained inside the fleshy fig, and tiny wasps help with pollination. See them
at Barron Falls, now!

We buzzed into Nature Book Week at Cairns Libraries Smithfield on Tuesday 15th October with a bee-tastic adventure! 🐝💛 Rangers Hayley and Jesse joined families to celebrate our native bees through the First Five Forever Program. After a successful stall at Cairns Ecofiesta, where visitors built bee hotels, we had a blast sharing the magic of bees once again. Our rainforest Rangers read Hotel for Bees by Alison McLennan to an eager audience, teaching kids why Native Bees are important for the environment. The excitement continued as children decorated their own Native bee hotels to take home for their backyards! 🏡✨
