"An ancient, UNESCO World Heritage-listed rainforest renowned for extraordinary biodiversity — within a tiny area there are more plant species than in much larger regions — and for its spiritual importance to local Aboriginal clans. The landscape ranges from mangrove-edged tidal flats to towering rainforest that meets the sea near the Great Barrier Reef; cultural interpretation here emphasizes sustainable harvesting, Dreamtime creation stories, and the retention of language and ritual despite colonial disruption." - Catherine Best
