Tony collects and takes us in a 4x4 up dirt tracks, through rivers and over mountains to the heart of the rainforest. Tony knows a lot about the different plant species and their relation to Aboriginal community and the rest of the rainforest. Ever energetic and upbeat, Tony knows exactly where to look to find the animals we most want to see....

... A guide can make all the difference to a tour, never more so than in a rainforest where some people need encouragement to develop a high level of excitement about creatures and plants that bite and sting and creep and crawl.
Hi Tony,
Trust you're well.
Just a short note to say a huge thanks for showing
me around the Cape Trib area last week. I'm safely
back in Hong Kong where the pneumatic drills
reverberate around the concrete and steel
skyscrapers - a very different type of jungle I
assure you!
It was a fabulous day and the group was a lot of
fun. I really appreciated the way the whole tour was
conducted - from your casual but informative
approach to the much-needed lunch and "homemade"
muffins!
Looking forward to writing up the articles on the
area
I look forward to seeing you again next time I'm
down that way. I can't wait!
All the best,
James Moore

..Sometimes you can get a bus load of people,
sometimes you can get a 4 x 4 with only five or so
others. Needless to say, the latter is infinitely
preferable. If mine was anything to go by, you'll be
guided by someone who's not only got the knowledge
of a botanist, a naturalist and ornithologist rolled
into one, you'll have a good laugh too.
..His composed and assured Aussie temperament
wouldn't have allowed him to show off, he's just
bloody knowledgeable!

From bottom to top - an eco
-pleasure..
Tony drew us deeper into the rainforest along a
trail of amazing facts about every giant seed pod,
murderous vine, prehistoric plant and
startled beasts that we happened on.
We were soon consumed, swallowed whole, surrounded
on all sides, above and below, by the forest..
We heard the drumming of summer rain outside but
didn't get wet as the canopy caught and redirected
every drop to where it was needed.

The only thing worse than licking an
ant's bottom is being told you can't do it again...
It was cruel really. Not for the ant, picked up
gently by the head, lovingly licked and then safely
returned to the fence post from whence they wiggled.
But for us, left wanting, craving, just one more
taste of that tangy, citrus, sherbet-fizzy anty
behind...
