Rainforest Hideaway B&B

Our second WWOOF stay was at The Rainforest Hideaway Bed and Breakfast. Robbie and I worked and stayed there for two weeks in late October. The B&B is in the middle of the tropical rainforest in Cape Tribulation, Queensland. The owner, Rob, built the place himself. He's an extremely talented carpenter and sculpture artist. Our room was a treehouse that connected to the B&B by a wooden bridge hovering over the forest floor. Here's a picture: I helped mostly with the B&B (cleaning, housework, cooking and help with guests) while Robbie helped Rob expand the sculpture trail. This is a picture of the front of the B&B: Robbie and I had the privilege of helping Rob construct a life-sized sculpture of Buddha made of concrete. Below is a picture of Rob (the owner of Rainforest Hideaway) and Robbie beside their work of art: Staying in the rainforest was an amazing adventure we'll never forget. We encountered some of the most amazing creatures in the wild...here's just a few:

A lobster we found washed up on the beach.

These spiders, called Golden Orbs, kept Robbie up all night. These six feet tall birds are called Cassowarys (the smaller brown ones are her chicks). I bumped into one of these bad boys almost once a day in the forest. These ones are pretty tame but they look like big, scary dinosaurs and are taller than me.
