🦋 The Ulysses Butterfly (Papilio ulysses) is one of the Daintree’s most iconic insects, famous for its iridescent blue wings that shimmer as it flies through the rainforest. ⁠
⁠
Despite their vivid colour, they can surprisingly disappear in seconds as they settle among the leaves with their wings closed, revealing a much darker underside.⁠

A little piece of rainforest magic 💙⁠

Good news: We’ve spotted five of the threatened Russell River Lime (Citrus inodora) on a property we secured for conservation last year 🌿

This rare native citrus is found only in North East Queensland and is listed as threatened, making every individual incredibly important for the species’ survival.

Discoveries like this show just how valuable these freehold properties are. By protecting rainforest, we’re safeguarding species that might otherwise be lost before they’re even fully understood.

💧Follow any creek in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest and it tells you the same story: everything here is connected to everything downstream.

Rain falls in the ranges, moves through the rainforest into small streams and creeks, and eventually flows out through the mangroves and estuaries to the Coral Sea and the Great Barrier Reef.

Along the way, these waterways are lifelines for wildlife.

Protecting rainforest here was never just about the trees. It's about keeping every part of that journey intact, from the forest all the way to the reef.

What’s your favourite rainforest species?
