Queensland Trip

This was the view of the sunrise from our cabin. 

That night we saw a huntsman eating a gecko on the back porch  
And there was some sort of orb spider in the living area of the lodge.

Queensland Trip

We found this fruit stand by the side of the road where we stopped and got some bananas, papayas, and lemons.  
We then turned and looked at the forest next to it and saw where we bet the bananas came from.

Queensland Trip

This is the beach that was in front of the Sanctuary Retreat which we stayed at. A very cool place, but you do need to be (somewhat) fit to make the climb up to the lodge. 
This is a stripped possum which is also rare. We had no idea and kept shining a light on it while trying to get a good photo.

Queensland Trip

We had a very cute visitor one night
This is a cassowarie I know it's blurred, but this is the best photo I could get. Here is the wikipedia page on them (and some better photos) 
This is the juvenile. The babies have white stripes, so this one must be a bit older.
