It’s really good
I really like it good on you Mike
Lovely trips to the magic Daintree
Well paced and personal. If you have been there it certainly takes you back. If you haven’t, it gives you a good reason to include the Daintree on your wish list.
Fascinating insights
This podcast brought my appreciation of cassowaries to a whole new level. What an intriguing bird. Can’t wait for my next visit north to see them in a way I never had before. Had no idea they could swim and even fish!!
