The Golden Orb is a common sight in #farnorthqueensland and it grows to about the size of your hand.
What is NOT Common is for them to catch (and devour) bats in their huge webs, which may be over one metre in diameter!
This spider is a pet that belongs to Megan Jane Wright who lives in Mowbray, FNQ, in Australia.
Megan took these amazing photos after a hapless bat flew into it's web.

What a difference a couple of hours makes. Tens of thousands of flying foxes were roosting in the trees and at dusk they all departed simultaneously in search of food.
When you Self drive the Daintree with the #DaintreeGuide from www aussieparkguides app you choose (and control) both the itinerary and the timeframes.
That way you can witness natural wonders like this, long after the conventional tour guide operators have dropped their guests back in town.
So download the App today and don't miss out on everything the Daintree has to offer.

Do you know what mammal is responsible for the largest mass migration in Australia? 🦇
At the Daintree River, depending upon the time of the year (and perhaps not every year) you may see a camp of Little Red Flying Foxes; which are indeed mammals, roosting in the trees adjacent to the Daintree River.
This camp will have ten of thousands, and possibly hundreds of thousands of flying foxes and when they take off en masse at sunset, and if you are fortunate enough to witness this, I guarantee you it will be an experience that you will never forget!
We were fortunate to witness this amazing spectacle with Solar Whisper Daintree River Crocodile & Wildlife Cruises, which we highly recommend!
If you would like to explore the Daintree 🐊🌴 🐦 , in your own time and experience a Daintree River cruise river cruise 🏞 download our #DaintreeGuide from your favourite App Store today and we can guide you to this very cruise operator operator⛵!

When we launched our first Self Drive Audio Guide App for the Daintree National Park we presented it to the Director of Tropical North Queensland Tourism who very quickly told us that we were about to disrupt the (Daintree National Park) conventional tour guide industry.
He was dead right.
And yes, we have!
When you develop world class, first of it's kind technology, (in any industry) in Australia, it's bound to grab people's attention.
But we're not worried about who we are distrupting. We are more concerned about our #AussieParkFans who just want to explore our iconic National Parks in their own vehicles, in their own time and follow an itinerary of their own choice.
If that sounds like something that you would like to do; we're here to help.

Unfortunately our National Parks do not contain only Native Australian Animals.
There have been species of animals, like the European Red Fox that were introduced into this country for sport, and have since been declared a #pestspecies that has devastated our biodiversity and contributed to the regional extinction of several species of small mammals and ground nesting birds.
This one, despite suffering from a severe case of #sarcopticmange was scavenging for food and perhaps due to its illness or hunger, was fairly unconcerned about my presence.
Proper management of #FeralSpecies is vital so that our National can continue to protect to provide the very Biodiversity that our native species need to exist.

Dubuji Boardwalk in Daintree National Park provides one of the best opportunities to view the Australian Fan Palms.

Each plant has 9 to 12 huge, segmented, pleated and almost circular leaves that resembles a giant pinwheel or fan, hence their common name.

Do you want to see these spectacular plants for yourself?🍀
